Barrel Beads
Posted on Friday, January 9th, 2009 at 3:12 amHunting with foster slugs?
I want to use my shotgun for deer (i had to sell my rifle). I don't have the money to get a scope. How accurate can you be with the bead on the end of the shotgun barrel? What would you suggest my max range should be?
I target practice with a shotgun several times a month.... Some of my friends ask me why I don't use a rifle or .22 but I like shotguns.....
Anyways.... Foster type slugs with either a smooth bore or rifled barrel are more accurate than most people give them credit.... I fire my Mossberg 12 gauge shotguns using inexpensive rifled (foster type) slugs and have absolutely no problems hitting a 12 inch steel gong at 100 yards... No this isn't as accurate as a bolt action rifle but it is plenty enough accuracy to take a deer or other medium size game at that distance....
I cant speak for everybody but here's what I did to become a decent shot.... Do not shoot at target paper....Shoot at reactive targets... I had a metal shop cut me some steel plates.... 8, 10, 12 and 15 inch gongs.... I set those up at various distances to 100 yards and practiced shooting at those... When you hit one it makes a loud ring and you can see them move... This gives you more of a "feel" for your guns capabilities... Paper can't do that......
Start at closer ranges and work your way out.... It took me a few sessions.... The most accurate slug I have found is the Federal Power Shok 2 3/4 inch 1 ounce hollow points # F127 RS..... The recoil is less than the Brenneke K.O. slugs and they are slightly more accurate than the Remington sluggers.....

Whatever you do... Practice with 2 3/4 inch slugs only.... You will have to do a bit of shooting in several sessions to become real proficient so why beat up your shoulder with 3 inch slugs?....
