msawyer1 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Winchester Super-x comes in 3 inch #1 buck with 24 pellets. Patterns great, but the recoil is BRUTAL. I can shoot 100 skeet loads without complaint, but I was wincing finishing off a box of 5 of these. Those 24 pellets are .030 diameter and 40 grains each or a whopping 960 grains or 2.19 oz. Not fun to shoot but some serious kick *ss! Plenty of penetration, but not too much. 24 pellets gives lots of chances for a vital hit. I just wish they did not hit me so hard, but in a self defense scenario who cars. Has anyone else tried these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthy phil Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Try some slugs in a pump gun to really experience some pain 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipperhead Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) 3 inch magnums will definitely get your attention, but the recoil pad on the M4 plus the gas system results in no real problems with recoil. A big hard push, but not a punch. The cost, not the recoil, makes 3 inch magnums to be used only for special occasions.

These are considerably more than 2 3/4 buck or slugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'zaster Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Feeding my Nova 3.5" loads is a serious kick. It is in a twisted kind of way.....fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
