lowest recoil 12 gauge slug

[hillbillydruggist]

recoil hurts more than it used to, i have tried minishells but was unhappy with the results, any suggestions?

thanks in advance!

load your own,,,,you dont need many ,,,Imake my own slugs in a Lyman mold ,,,they look like a large "pellet" and rquire a rifled bbl. or tube,,,,I use a rifled tube and get great accuracy using Longshot powder ,,,,Roger

Good question....nothing hurts worse than slugs....
However if used for hunting do you want to give up power...???
IMHO...get a newer gas compensated gun benilli,franchise each make some good ones...

Get a Limbsaver recoil pad. It took about half the felt recoil out of my 12g with it being a push instead of an impact.

A .410 slug..... jim

A padded shooting jacket may also help. I can't recommend any specific one

Get yourself an Ithica Deerslayer2 If you want some real recoil. When I shoot mine off a bench I have a 25# bag of shoot on my shoulder. Takes the pain out

Lightfield makes lower power practice slugs. If for pigs and deer, consider a 20 gauge.

Muzzle brake helps

Another option is a ported barrel. Mossberg slug barrels are ported from the factory.

Do a search... Google it "Reduced load shotgun slugs" and you will find options. Also, just select a 2 3/4" shell instead of 3" or 3.5" shell.

B&P makes some light slugs for the 3-Gun guys. 7/8 ounce I believe.

The B&P Target Slugs are actually pleasant to shoot and pretty accurate. I primarily run them through my Mossberg 590 pump, but they won't reliably function either of my Benelli semi autos. I've had good luck with Fiocchi 7/8 ounce 3 gunner slugs in the Benellis - very comfortable to shoot also. You didn't specify your purpose, but I assume if you're trying the mini-shells you aren't looking for a hunting load.

Yes for hunting, thanks
