I got an email from BPI today touting their new slug. Anyone got accuracy results for that? available in 1 oz and 1 1/8 oz versions in 12 Ga.

If you mean their THUG slug, here is some from test 4 of my own:

A little ways down that same thread is 20ga results. I will have more of each on Test 6.

Fantastic slug for its accuracy, with any choke. Made here in italy by Locatelli near Brescia. Excellent on small and medium sized hogs. On big hogs it tends to flatten too much and not penetrate. Illegal to use on deer in italy (smoothbore), but it should be perfect on whitetails.

Unfortunately, we have different powders in italy, otherwise i could pass on some load data for 470 meter/ second(1540 ft/s) and 750 bars of pressure.

I haven't tried the Thug Slug from BPI. They are almost an exact copy of the Fiocchi, Danarms, and Activ attached wad slugs of years ago. They shot very well for me in all smoothbores that had rigid barrel/receiver assemblies.
I just find BPI to very a bit Fictional when it comes to Specs, They said it was 30-40Years of work in the making of the Slug.
How much of their Claims are all BS. I do as little Business with them as possibkle. I have one of their slug Manuals from around 1995 and some of the Loads cannot be chambered. How exactly did they test that one for Pressure?
