This. ^I shoot the 2-3/4” Remington sluggers out of my smooth barrel. I one of the holdouts who never upgraded as I saw no need. For the kind of hunting I do I saw no gain in upgrading to a heavier weapon with much more expensive ammunition.
This is a case where the load might make all the difference in the world. Going with a hotter load might cause the slug to not engage the rifling. It could be so fast that the lead is just being stripped by the rifling instead of engaging the rifling and spinning the projectile.
That would also explain the lack of leading in the test.
A thought anyway.

For anyone wondering they shot great!!. I probably had a 2.5 in group at 50 yards. I may just shoot them in the future why pay twice as much for ammo.Anyone ever tried shooting a rifled slug out of a rifled barrel? I'll let you know how they do with accuracy. I usually shoot Remington accu-tip or copper solid saboted slugs. I only have six and have to site my scope in. I'm switching to Foster slugs for the season which I have enough of.
Bummer on the slugs but a big score on a 9mm! We just took a few shots this afternoon and got it sighted in. Holy f*** those Remington Accu tip 3 inch shells are nuclear. My dad immediately said he’s going to stick with the Hornady 2.75" shells@andrew1220 Absolutely NO 20ga Sabot slugs to be found. I even stopped in Shooter's Outpost to check. Nada...
I did however, find the last two boxes of Federal 9mm value-pak at Bass Pro. $27 per 100.
Not bad at 27 cents per round...
Oh, and Shooter's had 40 people in line waiting to check out. Wrapped all the way back and underneath thestareser, stairs.

Ummmm....that’s total BS right there. I hope you already called FedEx.

Yup. Or you'll see the pop-up window that says "Please renew your Prime Membership easily by clicking this link..." ($$$)not really. I'm a prime member, and I see that prime member only window pop up about half the time

Discreet outer box would be the smart thing to do but regardless of that, zero accountability by Fedex for delivering opened and stolen mail contents is absolute dog$hitCalled Fedex, they said call the vendor. Vendor wasn't surprised at all and says they will issue a refund. Wish they had a discreet overbox option like TSUSA.
Lately? These days you're lucky if the brand of 9mm TargetSports (or anyone) has IN STOCK is anything other than......

I’m sure the local news outlet would love to hear how local fedex employees have a crime ring stealing guns and ammunition (it’s two boxes of ammo but you know how those hit pieces work). I doubt it’s ending up with legal end users....Discreet outer box would be the smart thing to do but regardless of that, zero accountability by Fedex for delivering opened and stolen mail contents is absolute dog$hit

Yeah, I've gotten a few items in lately (ammo and knives) and everything is coming through like it was dropped off a 10-foot loading dock... and backed over.Natchez delivers, but FedEx steals 2x boxes

Yeah, with a good scope you are talking about 80-100 yard shots...those Remington Accu tip 3 inch shells are nuclear.
LOL.. but.. Better one was the dopes who stole a gun from a parked car in Southie back in the day...a car belonging to one of Whitey Bulger's thugs...(you can pretty much guess how that worked out for the two young, budding entrepreneurs...)Wasn’t there a ring in Atlanta stealing guns out of luggage at the airport?
Errrrrrt- wrong! It was UPS and it was SC
5 UPS employees arrested for stealing guns from incoming packages
LEXINGTON, S.C. – A gun theft ring at a midlands UPS hub was busted last week by Lexington County deputies. The guns were stolen from incoming packages at the shipping company’s hub in West Columbia.

The knife I got from Switzerland, the guy dropped it into a bubble envelope. It wasn’t even a whole envelope. 70 year old knife, I was pissed. I’m thinking of giving him a bad review on eBay. If he didn’t wrap the whole thing in tape it probably would have gotten lost.Yeah, I've gotten a few items in lately (ammo and knives) and everything is coming through like it was dropped off a 10-foot loading dock... and backed over.
The ammo meh. The knives in boxes I wanted to keep spiffy for collectability...
I now request cardboard boxing with the purchase. All the big sellers do it if asked.
PS: Soft mailer envelopes suck!
Straight from Remmy's mouth...Yeah, with a good scope you are talking about 80-100 yard shots...
MORE ACCURATE. MORE LETHAL, AND IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TIP.
It doesn't just look intimidating, it's flattening whitetails and competitors in the tipped-slug market with devastating ferocity. Guided by our new Power Port™ Tip, AccuTip Sabot Slugs delivers a degree of accuracy and terminal performance unmatched by any other we tested. This masterpiece of aerodynamics consistently prints tiny 100-yard groups and transfers tremendous knockdown force to the farthest reaches of shotgun range. It's the largest tipped slug you'll find anywhere. In field testing, these huge .58-caliber slugs produced gaping wound channels and crumpled every deer it touched with a single shot. From 5 to 200 yards, it yields perfect mushrooms and over 95% weight retention thanks to its spiral nose cuts and high-strength cartridge brass jacket. Designed for rifled barrels only. Available in 2¾" or 3" 12-gauge and 20-gauge versions.
Just the tip?Straight from Remmy's mouth...
Yep. Same thing happened to me through an Ebay seller. I ordered a Victorinox 2019 ALOX Pioneer Limited Edition and the box and clear plastic support tray arrives crusted and shattered.The knife I got from Switzerland, the guy dropped it into a bubble envelope.

I know. I do get lucky, since I’ve been laid off from Covid, I’ll go to Cabelas during the week and sometimes find some.Lately? These days you're lucky if the brand of 9mm TargetSports (or anyone) has IN STOCK is anything other than......

I keep going back to my Remmy Sluggers.
They just plain work and because of where I hunt, I rarely take a shot past 40-45 yards.

Stealing ammunition. Is that a federal crime?i hope you are kidding. if they did i hope you follow up on it. Thats fcuked up if fedex did that
