Slug barrel is a winner!

[Prof Young]

Shotgunners:

A couple years ago I bought a Winchester 1300 that included a slug barrel (not rifled). Well, I retired recently, and am getting back into deer hunting for the first time in about six years. I put the slug barrel on, got myself a good shotgun scope and tried it out today. All the groups were such that the "holes" touched each other. When I got it zeroed and took my time the "holes were almost on top of each other. Should have taken a pic. Anyway, was shooting 1oz "slugger" slugs at about 40 yards. It's gonna be a good year to deer hunt.

Good shooting! I have similar results with my 870 and the winchester slugs. They really put a large hole in bambi to say the least.

870's & 500's,properly set up and zeroed,are true 100 yd.guns!

Kind of amazing how accurate slugs are out of a smooth bore. 2" to 3" at 100 not being unusual. Gun rags were claiming years ago that it's due to the wads.

I have plenty of deer rifles but I almost always grab the slug gun, a 870 20G.
