Unfortunately at a still target, slugs is all I can currently shoot at local ranges. So... I am going to buy a bunch of different slugs to try/test out in my new 870 to see which ones group the best at 25 yards. I have found and will list below the ones I already have selected to buy and try to see which slugs my 870 likes best for accuracy. Here is the basic gun setup:
- Remington 870 Express Magnum
- 18" VangComp (VCS) Smoothbore barrel. I believe this is a police 18" barrel with a fixed Imp. Cyl. Choke.
- ATN Ultra Digital Reflex Sight
- Trigger job with about 3.5 pound crisp pull
- Knoxx SpecOps stock (I am thinking I will need this stock for the slugs!)
Looking for recommendations (and where to purchase) for slugs to try based on the following criteria:
* Reasonable cost, will be firing a bunch when I find the slug that my gun likes best. The lower the price the better, must be less then $1.00 per slug.
* 2 3/4", 1 oz. Rifled Slug, I have a smooth bore barrel
* Can be easily ordered online or purchased locally via retail outlet
This is what I have selected to purchase so far and the sources:
- Federal (129-PB127LRS) Low Recoil Truball 1oz. slugs (Midsouth Shooters)
- Federal (129-PB127RS) Truball 1oz. slugs (Midsouth Shooters)
- Federal Classic Rifled Slug 1oz Power-Shok (Natchez)
- Remington (RTRL12RS) Managed Recoil Rifled 1oz. slugs (Natchez)
Recommendations please with the above criterea in mind and where I can purchase. Thanks in advance!
