wildoliver Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I have only got 8 left now, I just found them at the bottom of an old kit bag. £4 posted for the 8. For sale, packs of 5 Dangerous game slugs. ready to be reloaded in to cases. These are 100% legal to own, you only need fac if they are actually loaded in to a shell they are classed as components and are non expanding so no need to be entered on any ticket. I got these for a trip to France with a friend shooting boar, and have plenty left. As I am selling my slug gun to concentrate on clays there isn't much point in having these sat around doing nothing. I have about 45 left, selling in packs of 5. And if someone want a gun to fire them out of I have a nice winchester 1200 pump. Selling for £3.50 including postage per pack of 5. Selling in 5's as not many people will need that many at any one time, I will say a good portion of that price is the postage (they are lead) so buy 10 or as many as you like it will work out better value for money. A bit about the slugs themselves: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/rgpowell/images...overshot105.gif They use a solid lead rifled projectile with a cellulose (plas) "wad" that acts like a shuttlecock skirt to stabilise in flight. The rifles are not to impart spin as many think in a smooth barrel or the air they act as squish points to allow the slug to pass through the choke of the gun. They are extremely accurate slugs, we were messing around in a friends orchard in France and could group to a few inches at 45 or so yards, they fly nice and true with the skirt, no tumbling which can occur with other slugs. Plus they achieve very good penetration so ideal for boar or other dangerous game where you want to be assured of a hit = a kill. They are reportedly safe for use through any choke, however common sense dictates they are not used through tight chokes, especially on old or thin walled guns eg. SxS I would recommend a pump or semi, or at least a butch O/U. Accuracy will suffer through too tight a choke, we found the ideal was improved cylinder, but anything from open, skeet improved to 1/4 will suffice. Obviously you are buying at your own risk etc. etc. Oliver Go to the top of the pageReport Post Edit Post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
