This may sound like a ludicrous question to those of you who have been involved with firearms and ammunition all your lives but........................
I've never shot slugs in a shotgun before. And, honestly, since plinking has been my main use for any firearm before, I've never really looked for a special ammunition that works best with a particular firearm. I've just grabbed something recommended and shot a few rounds that hit close to the bulls-eye and called it good. So far I've been lucky, I guess, because the firearms I've owned and the ammunition I've chosed seems to hit where (or mighty darnned close to where) I've wanted. At least I've been able to dispatch the predators that have threatened my llamas over the years.
I'm wanting to use Brenneke's Green Lightning slugs...............but have just recently found a place that would order them for me...............and I still don't have them. So yesterday I picked up a 5/box of
Federal Premium, 1oz slugs. If I use them to sight in the red-dot on my Mossie 500, with they be at least "close" to hitting in the same area as the Brennekes...........or will I just have to do the sighting-in all over when the Brennekes arrive?
