Thread: 12g slugs ??

If it was me I'd go for it, a 12g slug such as a Brenneke through a smoothbore, or a saboted slug through a rifled barrel are deadly. Good friend of mine did a testfire with a Remington with a fully rifled barrel and scoped and was able to consistently shoot a 3", 5 shot group at 100, and was happy taking a shot on game out to 150.

Thanks for the answer husky.
where abouts would i get my hands on a riffled barrel. from the ones ive seen it might be cheaper to buy a second hand .308. i understand that you can shoot riffled slugs through a smooth bore too ?. Cheers
