We are always looking for way to shoot 8 and 10s using easy to get components,cheap, without buying loaded rounds for big bucks, if available at all. In 8ga falling block, plastic got 930gr hollowbase slug to 2300, It is a slug for 10 ga that we expanded base a little to fit tight in 8ga wadcup. On the left in picture. At 30 yds 3" group. Just with open sight, About like the 10ga sight bead. There is enough hollow in the base it flies pretty good from 8ga smooth barrel. Along same line, in my 10ga 32" smooth bull barrel with a 750 gr .69cal hollowbase Dixie MZ slug in VP100 10ga wadcup about same speed and same accuracy. Nice to just get a box of slugs that is in stock, and a 2cent cent wadcup and Fed 3.5" 10ga plastic cases and be shooting cheap.And the cases roll crimp nice down to these slugs. And also the hotrod 20 ga 3.5" Hastings factory loads in a smooth barrel moderate weight 20ga shoots about same accuracy even though they say for rifled, but that SPW slug/wad combo has enough plastic and seal on the back and to shoot like aBrenekke. The new 28ga Brenekkes out of 28ga NEF modified choke barrel shoots same at 30yds. Scoped guns and good eyes would shrink groups.Ed |
