"Shotgun Slugs at 230 Yards"

[HHGT]

Advance this video to 10:30 to see close up of this guy's grouping at 230 yards. Not bad at all coming from a shotgun slug.

I could watch Hickock45 all day.

Ya gotta love that guy....

[Mr.1904]

Shoots better than i do.

[zod]

Skills.

There was a guy shooting slugs at 100 yd at Angeles about two weeks ago, he said you had to aim about 3-4' low

[medicdude]

Hickok is a badass.

[xrMike]

Old guy, shooting 12 guage slugs offhand, with old eyes...

Hope I'm good as him at that age.

[Dantedamean]

Damn, I have to get some slugs lol
Don't let the antis see this, they'll want to ban slugs next.

From testing done by Holland and Holland in 1903 using a 730gr slug at 300yds in a double.

Dumb question, but I've never shot slugs in my smoothbore shotgun before, just bird loads and 00 buckshot, so I don't know anything about slugs but now I want to try some at 100 yards on paper to see how they group...

Do the slugs spin when they come out of a smoothbore shotgun barrel, and if so, I assume they are rifled or grooved somehow?

Yes, that's why the slugs used in smoothbore shotguns are called rifled slugs.

Not a slug,but I once saw a Colton PD Swat officer hit a telephone pole at 100yrds with a tear gas round out of his 870. Cool to see the round hit and then a puff of gas appear.

Sweet, 230yrds niice!

Yes if you're firing a typical rifled shotgun slug like the one in the upper pic below. However I'm not sure how accurate a sabot slug would be through a smoothbore. Generally use the sabots through a rifled barrel.





Typical 1oz Rifled Shotgun Slug like the one Hickock was shooting.








Typical 1oz Sabot Slug. Not sure how accurate this would be through a smoothbore.

Thanks guys; I could have googled that myself but I was just being downright lazy

Off to find a deal on rifled slugs...
