12 Gauge Slug Data : 2 3/4" Shells |
| Warning! Notes: All loads were shot at 50 yards through a Remington 870 Express with a 20-inch rifled barrel. A saddle mount on the 870's receiver was used to attach a Zeiss Victory Compact Point red dot sight. As flying sabots and wads are fatal to chronographs, all velocities are quoted from manufacturers' load data. Groups are for three shots. (Handloader Issue #267 - August, 2010) |
