I was in the gun store yesterday stocking up on stuff for my ground squirrel excursion this weekend and found a box of Federal 20 gauge slugs. It said on the box 3/4 ounce slugs at 1680 fps. This is a bit fast (1500fps is advertised by WR) and a bit light (420 grain bullet is advertised.) I bought them anyway and shot a couple today.

Unfortuneately they crossed 6 inches and shot 1 inch low. The sight is for 100 yards.

Does anybody know of any other slugs that shoot 1 OZ at 1500fps or so?

Mickey:
You simply won't beat the Brenneke, the best shotgun slug on the market (by a country mile!)

A 1-ounce slug at 1,475 fps.

Unfortunately, the ones sold at this site http://precisionreloading.com/slugs.htm are 3-inch hulls.

The ones here http://www.dnrws.com/rottweil.html may be 2 3/4, bit hard to tell.

Anyway, search out the Brenneke, you can't go wrong!
