Butch-M Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Foster slugs if it's a smoothbore barrel. Sabot slugs are designed to spin and shed the plastic cup. If they don't, they tend to pitchpole and yaw; degrading accuracy badly. Federal Truball is a good choice if you're looking for long range accuracy ... for hunting for example. It's a relative new design and seems to be getting quite a bit of good press. Shotguns are notoriously fickle about what brand and load of slug they like. My advice would be to buy a few boxes of each and test them to see which shoots best in your particular M4. Any choke from Modified to open is fine; again, testing can make the choice for you. Here's a link to a site with some pretty good basics on slugs. If you want more just ask. http://www.nrapublications.org/tah/Slugs.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jualdeaux Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I shot Winchester Ranger low recoil slugs through my M4 just fine. I missed the bulls eye by only 3-4 inches at 100 yards. Granted I only shot the one shot at the target. I figured I didn't want to press mu luck any further. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
