Thread: 12ga shotgun slugs

are you using rifled slugs in a rifled barrel????? because you shouldnt or will get the leading issues you talking about.... the rifled barrels are for sabotted rounds or indeed inside wadded ones...and dont bother trying birdshot or buckshot as it just makes pretty doughnut patterns ...really big doughnuts.

Never tried a rifled shotgun barrel, all smoothbore (not even pitted!), seems to happen with any factory slug - those Proshot Tornado brushes pull heaps of lead out after a handful of shots.

I kinda want to try the donut thing out of one now though... a good shot'd be a miss every time?
