96trigger Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I think every slug so far that has been mentioned has been good. I used to shoot the brennekes, great knockdown power. Not as tight of groups out of my gun at 100 yards. The partition golds shot great for me and I used them for a couple of years. Then I tried the Hornady SST's, they were almost $5 cheaper and looked wicked. I have had good luck with them. So that is what I'll stick with. If they go up in price, I'd probably go back to the partition golds. I have only ever heard good things about the Federals, but I haven't shot any. All the remingtons didn't pattern well out of my gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim916 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I also shoot the Federal Barnes expander. I have dropped 2 deer in their tracks. They also have a $5 rebate per box right now. So you can get them for around $6 a box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which mills did you get them at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96trigger Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 You really can't beat that place for shell prices. Maybe Wally world, but they have nowhere near the selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeshoremunster Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Geez guys wish i would have seen this post before deer season, i paid a butt load for my box of five for this season, good thing i still had some left from all the other years, i first started out with win. platnium but have now gone with the federal tipped 2 3/4. I tried the 3in one this last season and noticed that my gun was off a small bit but was still able to drop my 8 pointer in his tracks, first deer that has done that to me, also first time i herd a deer's death cry.

jay83196 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Try a bunch of them and see shat shoots best, but for top performance the best ballistics I have found were the Winchester supreme partition golds they have a muzzle velicity of 1900fps and more energy than any others mentioned I looked up.
