12ga Power!

So, I'm going on a hunting trip with my dad this year to a commie state that doesn't allow rifles.... but supposedly they have an awesome deer population. I guess that goes hand in hand... hehe

 

Anyway, so to bend the rules I bought a Remington 870 Super Slug

I have to say... this thing is a BEAST... and it kicks you like one when you don't shoulder it correctly!

 

Here's mine  :pleased:  :

It shoots these:

So I was sighting it in down at my friend's place, and I used 3 railroad timbers propped up against a tree. 100 yards away and WOW does this thing do some damage. I didn't take any pictures of the timbers, but it was a hole about half the size of your fist on the back side for each shot! And this is what it looks like when you pull one out of the tree behind those timbers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also surprising to me, and a little concerning, was when I found this on the ground behind the targets after running a few .45 FMJ through my XDs at the target!

 

:stunned:

 

 

 

This was from about 15 yards.... I mean those timbers weren't green lumber, but they were FAR from rotten. And they're about 5" thick! I don't know how the crap that made it through and ended up pretty well unscathed and laying on the ground. I suppose it could've just gone through one on an angle and out the side.... but wow....

when you want more power, look up the "12ga from hell"  its getting 50BMG power.

 

looks like a good gun. ive been wanting to delve into a slug gun for awhile now for the power. I have shot a few 2 3/4 rifled slugs through a smooth bore but am looing for a slug barrel for my Mossberg 535.
