deerhunter99 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hello all, Just purchased an M2 field slug gun, 12 ga and would like to get some insight on what brand and length ammo anyone uses for the best accuracy. I have a 20 ga 11-87 that I went through hundreds of dollars of ammo trying to get it to shoot and would not like to repeat the exercise with the M2.

ishootkittens Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 field slug gun? are we talking rifled barrell or field barrell? i cant help you when talking about a rifled barrel.. but for field barrel go with an Ic or rifled choke tube with Brenneke black magics in 3 inch. or maybe federal truball's! pick something and head to the range.

deerhunter99 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Rifled barrel. Somewhere on the Benelli website I saw that they recommended the Federal Barnes/Sabot Vital shock but didn't specify 2&3/4 or 3 inch shells. TIA, Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishootkittens Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 give the remington accutip a shot.. literally. supposedly the most accurate sabot slug and its .58 caliber so it backs quite the punch. they arent that expensive compared to some slugs ive seen.

deerhunter99 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Thanks, will give them a try along with the Winchesters, Federals and Lightfields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerhunter99 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Went to the range today & shot 12 different saboted slug loads. Ended up with the Lightfield 3 inch HYBRED-ELITE 1 1/4 oz. (Orange box). Best three shot group, one inch CTC with these slugs. Gun is M2 12 ga. Slug gun w/Nikon 2x-7x ML/Shotgun scope. Getting more ammo to try at 150 and 200 yds. Also going to switch to Leupold 3x-9x Ultimate Slam scope with SBR reticle. Stay tuned. DH99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.Hunter Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 brenneke green lighting very accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishootkittens Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 really? now ive tried the black magics and had great success, but you say the green lightnings are good? what firearm/choke are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBow Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Shot about 15-20 Federal/Barnes 3" hollow points out of my SBE and liked what I saw, 1 1/2" at 75 yds. The tipped Federal/Barnes had more speed and energy, but grouping wasn't as consistent for me, your results may vary. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U.Hunter Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 shot 10 today IC choke 1.5" CTC 26" barrel waiting to get 24" rifled barrel and really try these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerhunter99 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 Tried the Brennekes, 2 3/4 & 3 saboted. Accuracy was not consistent. Lightfields were the most accurate in the rifled barrel. DH99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
