Retrieved the slug from my buck I shot last Saturday:
It started out life looking like this:
I fire 12ga Remington AccuTip saboted slugs. The box claims they are .58 caliber, 385 grain projectiles. They are made in 2 3/4" 1850 FPS (velocity, feet per second) shells and 3" Magnum 1900 FPS shells. I use the 2 3/4" shells because my Remington 870 Express Magnum Pump Shotgun will hold 4 of these in the magazine tube vs. only being able to hold 3 of the 3" shells; and I figure having the extra shell is worth giving up 50 FPS.
This is the only round I have found that shoots well out of my Mossberg made (for the Remington 870) rifled & ported barrel that I have mounted on my 870. Everything else I have tried firing out of this barrel has horrible accuracy past 50 yards.
Rural King's regular price for these shells is $12.99 for a box of 5. Remington regularly runs a fall rebate of $5 per box (limit 4 boxes). On top of that, Rural King ran a 10% off all in-stock ammunition sale a few weeks ago. I just got a flyer in the mail yesterday and Rural King is again running this 10% off sale for this week.
