Anyone use Win PD slugs on deer?
I bought some 12 ga Winchester PDX 1 slugs, advertised as serrated, so as to break up into 3 pieces upon impact.
They shoot a 3 inch pattern at 50 yards in my Rem 870. Seems like a good deer round to me. Anyone on this forum used them for hunting? If so, what results did you get?

Anybody have an opinion?
I posted this about 2 weeks ago, and no one has made any comments - YET.
I guess no one uses these?

I like any kind of slug. My question would be penetration. It looks like it would work, one ounce at 1,600 fps. I'm thinking a Brenneke slug would be a better choice. As I understand it, the PDX ammunition is for self-defense, not hunting.This is a pretty good review

I think the PDX1 12ga rounds are a 1oz slug and 3 00buck shots in the same round. I don't think the slugs break up any more than other slugs.

There are two versions, one slug/buck and another with the segmenting slug described by the O/P

Here is video link from Winchester
http://winchesterproductdemos.winche...der.html#/Home and here is data and info http://www.winchester.com/PRODUCTS/S...s/default.aspx I know it can kill a deer but I would read the article I linked above. I still think Brenneke is best choice. |
