« on: Oct 12, 2006, 10:22:45 AM »
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.)

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.
Tresspassing on my land is bad, Tresspassing on my land with an ATV will get you shot!

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.

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.

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.
