69beers Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Winchester Supreme Platinum Tips or Partition Golds 2 3/4". Quote
SigsRus Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 I haven't used them, but I've been told really good things about the Brenneke stuff Quote
mudhen Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Plat Tips have worked great for me. Part Golds are fine. The new Hornady SSTs patterned well in my SBE last weekend. mudhen - CA Quote

brice hensley Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Sorry about that, deleted what i wrote then hit add reply. How far have you shot with the sbe and the new sst hornadY's? I always shoot lightfields or the fed barnes expanders. skiebuster Quote
mudhen Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 2"-3" groups, from a rest, with open sights, 100 yards. The SST is for real. I shoot the SST & the Plat Tip in my muzzleloader as well with good results so far. mudhen - CA Quote
Butch-M Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I've shot most of the sabots out of my SBEII, including the new Hornady SST and repeatedly found the Winchester Platinum Tips to group the best so far. I got 4" groups as I was sighting in my scope at 110 yards two weeks ago; and that will shrink to 2"-3" when I get serious. I THINK the Winchester Partition Golds look good if you want more penetration and more range, but I didn't have enough shells or enough shoulder left to really test them. As far as performance goes ... the Win. Plat. Tips dropped 15 deer with 15 shots for me in 2004. Individual shotguns are very ammo sensitive, so you have to test them all yourself. A lot of guys have great success with Federals with the Barnes copper bullet. (I didn't) And the Lightfields shoot great, but I don't like the longer range ballistics on them. (If 150 yards is long) I like the looks of the new Remington Ultra Coreloks too. Someday I'll test the Remingtons. Quote
bluedavis Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 The winchester slugs work great for me, both the platinum and gold tips. I did have some penetration issues with the winchester plain sabots but the premium ones work great. I've stuck with 2 3/4 inch rounds and have heard/read that the higher velocity stuff can be unstable. Quote
