Buff87 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Anyone tried the WinLite rifled slugs? I'm just about out of my old stock of Federal and need a source. TIA Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just about out of my old stock of Federal and need a source.TIA Tom I haven't tried the Winlites but I have been using the Federal Truball Low Recoil for several years and they always work in both my 1100 and SX2. I did try some cheap S&B loads and could not get them to function. With shotguns in 3 gun reliablity is key. I get mine at Midway because I can't find them locally. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/...&t=11082005 Edited April 29, 2008 by Doug H.

D.Hayden Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 They sound like the Rangers... Rangers 1,200 fps too.. The Remington's are 1,200 too, the Federals are 1,300 fps.. The Remington's are 1,200 too We've bought a few times from Ammo to go (link posted above) - about the cheapest we found mail-order. If you have to mail-order them. Get whatever's cheapest among those 3. If you find someone that goes to the Reno show (and you do know a good number of them ) - that's the place to get them.. I think Arnold got the Rangers there for $109 last time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I like the Federal tactical low recoil. They work well and operate my 1100 like a champ and really cut the recoil down over full power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They worked fine, but then they depended on elbow grease rather than gas for function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout454 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Try the Fiocchi 12LESLUG's. 1oz, 1150, run in both Benelli's and an old 1100. With an IC choke they'll cloverleaf at 50 yards and shoot into 3" at 75. I haven't shot them at 100 but the few targets I've had to shoot in matches at 80 and 90 yards were no trouble to hit. They recoil like a 1 1/8 oz load of 7 1/2's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The S&Bs would not function reliably in my Rem. 1100 Competition Master, but to be honest it was particular about many different loads, which is why I bought an FN SLP last week. I'm going to try the S&Bs in the FN this weekend. I hope it likes them better. Ironman is coming and I need all the slugs I can get! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway USA http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/...leitemid=918352 Delivered to your door cheaper than a drive out to Wally World.

Scout454 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I get the Fiocchi slugs by the case from Debbie Cheek at matches. Midway is also a good source. The last case I got had 7/8 oz slugs at 1300 by mistake. Finally got around to checking them for accuracy this afternoon and put 3 of them into 1 1/4" at 50 yards. Group was 2 1/2 inches higher than the 1oz. Recoil like a 1 1/8 oz heavy field load of birdshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken hebert Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 +1 for the Fiocchi reduced recoil slugs. Run like a champ in my SX2 practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
