slowhand23 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Me & my M2's new favorite slug at a great price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona98tj Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I've got a case (200 count) of B&P I bought a year or two ago. I pulled one of the rounds apart and measured the slug....slightly less than 7/8 oz. Are they really packing a 1 oz. slug in this new batch now? Hopefully so....I found that my SLP, after it got a little dirty, didn't reliably cycle the 7/8 oz. version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co-exprs Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Winnner! New BPs run very well through all my scatterguns. Recoil is low and the slugs are accurate. I was able to throw 6" groups at 100yds with both my SLP and Versamax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona98tj Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 So....has anyone cut a shell open and actually weighed the slug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebraman Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 A friend of mine just bought some of these slugs (the new ones), and told me that they would not cycle his action. He has a Benelli M1 that is set up for the open class, has a Taran Tactical lightened bolt, and just came back from C-Rums for a make over. Does anyone have any ideas why these don't work in his gun? He says that the gun functions fine with birdshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raysracer Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I've cut one open - it is 7/8 oz - and it is exactly the same slug as the Fiocchi's 7/8 ow... Interesting.. The website says they are 1 oz, 1200 FPS. Has anybody chrono them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona98tj Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Yeah...well, the web site said they were 1 oz. a couple of years ago....that is why I kept asking. Joer...thanks for taking the time to cut one open. The below data was copied from the review (on my web site) that I did a couple of years ago. I used my FNH SLP Mk1 and a PACT chronograph # of Shots: 5 Lowest Velocity: 1156 FPS Highest Velocity: 1177 FPS Average Velocity: 1168 FPS Standard Deviation: 8.2 FPS Grouping: 2.4" @ 50 yds Barrel Choke: Improved Cylinder Edited November 1, 2012 by arizona98tj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Great post Jesse I think you got it amigo! I still don't understand it but I now remember what you told me after the 10th time so I can regurgitate it. Lol!

Zebraman Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 The unfortunate part is he just had the bolt lightened by TTI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlhead Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 It is often better to be correct in the answer given than to understand the answer. Let us all reflect on the subtle intricacies of the inertia action, specifically how the whole Force=Mass x Acceleration equation relates to low powered slugs and porky open shotguns.

Romans 13 4 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 B and P's communication is horrible. Never received an email answer from them but one bright and shiny morning the UPS driver showed up with a case of slugs. Then, couple of days later, another case showed up. Credit card got double tapped for the ammo. Hope they work in my shotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH45 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I ordered a case to try, and the invoice that was attached was for somebody in a different state, but, they did charge my card. I took some to the range and tried them in my Firebird, which has been running 2 3/4 dram, light trap loads, and Remington managed recoil slugs flawless, since getting it back from Jim the last time. They are the lightest recoil slugs I've ever fired, and I had at least 50% failure to eject out of my Firebird. I'm thinking that they won't run in my JP open 1100 either because Remington managed recoil run right at the edge, but, I think they will run in my Benelli M2. The next time I go to the range, I'm going to try them in the other two shotguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j28s Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Anyone know when B&P will have the slugs back in stock? It's been a while since they had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
