usmarine Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hey everyone, Need your infinite wisdom. My step-brother is going hunting this year and is looking to borrow my slug gun. I have a Savage 110 Bolt Action Shotgun with rifled barrel. He's never really shot before, so if there is any type of LOW RECOIL deer hunting round that would be great. Since the barrel is already rifled, I don't need a rifled slug. Do you guys have any recommendations for a low recoil, non-rifled slug? Thanks in advance.

HOGWILD Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 your post is very confusing?? if ya use a sabot slug which were made for rifled barrels you will be ok, most single shot shotguns will kick harder than a pump and most pumps kick harder than the semi-auto. Hornaday SST's are the ones i would use, recoil like is said is something ya gotta deal with and the gun he will be using kicks the most and no more than he will be shooting get a slip on recoil pad? why would you shoot a nonrifled slug thru a rifled slug barrel? never heard of anyone doing that? accuracy will be affected if ya do not use a sabot slug in a rifled barrel! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_barrel#The_rifled_slug_barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmarine Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 I guess, I mean, the proper slug to shoot thru a rifled barrel. Whether it be a rifled slug or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Check out the Buckhammer by Remington. They have an assortment of "Managed Recoil" loads in slugs and centerfire rifles if you are so inclined. Good Luck, have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblcluck Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Rifled deer barrels must use Sabot ammo!!! Smooth bore's can use "rifled slugs" by Winchester, Federal, or Remington. Note: The term "rifled slug" doesn't mean Sabot ammuniton. Regular deer slugs have been called that for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I missed the part about the rifled barrel. Good eye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Another vote for the SST by Hornady .. recoil is irrelevant for one shot.. just breathe and hold on tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
