Anybody else try these slugs yet? I did yesterday, and all I can say is HOLY COW...
Picked up a shotgun yesterday, and also sighted in my bolt action Savage slug gun. I was shooting Remington Core Lockts, and they were ok, but not great groups (about 2 - 3 inches at 50 yards, and a hell of a kick).
So the dealer tells me Hastings has new slugs that are supposed to be great and this & that. This is the same thing he told me about the Remintongs the year before, but I figure what the heck, lemme try a box, what have I got to lose.
And oh my god, amazing - I wound up shooting 4 boxes, one target per box, each box destroyed the middle of a Sight N See target.
The even better part: they cost about 50% less than the remingtons, and the kick was about 25% less, too. Either way I gotta put a limbsaver on that thing. Hahaha
Just wondering if anyone has tried them? I'm also suspecting that I did better with them because I got more comfortable shooting them due to the lower kick, so I wasn't flinching as much - I know for a fact I kept it more centered; those kind of "I know that was a good shot" shots where you don't even have to look becuase you know it went well. With the remingtons I was cringing with ever shot...
Either way, anybody try these yet?
