NorfolkPoacher Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 if by .410 "slug" you are refering to a rifled or unrifled single projectile fired from a smooth bore weapon i.e shotgun, then unless you have a firearm certificate with "slug" specifically listed, you cannont purchase them on regular shotgun certificates. i enquired about "slug" to be put on my FAC but my FLO wouldnt let me, stating that due to lack of expansion they are illegal to use on deer. regular slugs can be relatively accurate with groups in 3" @80m rifled barreled shotguns and sabot slugs can achieve 3" easily at out to 160m. if you knew all this info then i appologise, slugs would be good fun though!! atb Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK38 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 As far as i know slugs have to go on FAC .... normal shotgun certificates are not enough. I don't think they are legal on any quarry in the uk..... though i could be wrong on that. Most users of slugs have them for PSG , and i thnk they use 12's not 410's. Much more popular in Europe and the US, where they use them for Deer and Boar, can be very accurate apparently through the right gun..... and deliver massive energy.

Emmsy Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 relative has slugs on his FAC for deer shooting in the woods. if your into reloading a .357mag bullet head fits inside a .410 plaswad quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
