Anybody test this new slug?
PremierĀ® AccuTip Bonded Sabot Slug
"More accurate, tiny groups, etc, etc" Seems I've heard that before but hope springs eternal. I'd love to find a streamlined lighter bullet that would shoot accurately in the old slug gun, and give me the 200 yards I need to reach out and touch this particular buck that torments me, but very expensive to do proper testing. Would anybody who shot these please advise how they grouped. many thanks.
The only "accurate" (less than 2moa) unit in my rifled 870 so far is a lightfield (546 grains at 1730 fps). I do not like shooting this from a bench, and I doubt that the recoil improves my shooting at game. It is a bruiser at 3628 claimed ft pounds of energy. Blunt and slows fast. Oh, for those interested, my slow twist remington barrel keeps average groups of the lightfield 3" inside 2 moa to 100 yards. Holes are a bit oval, go figure. Maybe the limit of accurate range? Another guess is that with the long plastic wad dragging along it just keeps righting itself. My gun has hated everything else. Anyhow, still looking for the efficient sabot slug the Hornady SST would have been if it would have shot well for me.
