Personally, I shoot my 30-06 with my Barnes Triple Shock TSX reloads.

What do you guys shoot?

Awesome. Must have dropped like a rock. I’ve always wanted to hunt with a slug gun

Ammo is offensively overpriced. Like $8 a shot. But it’s a lot of fun, with a scope and calm conditions I’ll drop one at 120 yards all day. Buddy of mine has a savage 220 bolt action 20 gauge slug gun and he’s taken deer out at 200 yards

That’s awesome! I have a 20 ga mossberg that came with a rifled barrel to swap in but the ammo prices for the slugs have always kept me from even sighting it in. Maybe I’ll bite the bullet and give it a shot this season

With an 18” barrel they’re great to push bush with. Last year my old man was sighting his in and it took him 2 boxes before he finally got it 😂 expensive day lol

It’s funny you say that because I already use that mossberg for pushing bush but I use the smoothbore barrel. The trigger is super heavy so I figure I’d also be in the same boat as your dad lol. I think I’m sold though if you have success with it I’ll try it out
