Hi,
I have a Mossberg 930 SPX which is a smooth bore shotgun with ghost ring sights. I recently tried grouping 2 different brands of slugs and was surprised at the difference.
The first I type tried were Federal Tru-ball rifled hollow point 1oz maximum slugs. I found I could get a 6" group at 50 yards with these, over 5 shots.
I eventually ran out of tru-ball, so I switched to remington "slugger" 1 oz rifled slugs. These are by far the most common slugs at sporting good stores around here. To my surprise, the groups almost doubled, the best I could get with these was about a 10" 5 shot group.
Given these variances, I started to wonder how much better it could get. Are brenneke slugs worth trying (specifically, the Brenneke KO line)? They make a 2" 50-yard group claim on their site. Are there any other suggestions for trial-and-error on slug ammo?
