brenneke slugs for rifled barrels

(1/1)

buddah:
I just picked up a mossberg 500 with rifled barrel.I was wondering which model slug you guys prefer in the brenneke (k.o.,supersabot etc.)

adkRoy:
DON"T use brenneke (rifled slugs) in a rifled barrel. Use sabots (we use federal sabot) They are faster and more accurate to 100 yards. Rifled slugs will kill your rifling in the barrel.

FrankM:
I always had the best results with Lightfield slugs in my Mossberg with rifled barrel.  They were expensive at 7.99/8.99 for 5 but they shot tight groups and killed deer quickly.

adkRoy:
I've never had a problem with rifled slugs. I've killed many deer with them but I shot them from a smooth bore shot gun.

buddah:
This is straight from the brenneke web site.




Question: What happens if I shoot your slug in a rifled barrel?
Answer: All our slugs can be shot from rifled barrels. No problem at all. Normally you will achieve even higher precision from a rifled barrel than from a smoothbore barrel. Groups of under 4" at 100 yards are no problem from a rifled barrel with our normal slugs.
However, we have two specialists, slugs designed for use in rifled barrels only: Gold Magnum, a 13/8 oz slug and our SuperSabot, a 11/8 oz expanding (up to 1") brass slug. These two products provide maximum accuracy (under 2" groups at 100 yards) from a rifled barrel, at ranges of over 100 yards.
