I braved the +2c rain and sleet today to try out the new slug loads and see what kind of groups I get. So I loaded up some shells with 700x and used a few tricks I learned from Longbow and Ajay. The Claybuster wads had nicks in the gas seal molded from the factory so I put a little wrap of paper around those. That did the trick in sealing them and stopping the blown seal

Blue Magics for the foster slugs and Fed GM for the finstr sabots

Went out to the pit and set up. Looking for minute of crow at 50yds. [smilie=s:

The hardware; Rem 1100 with Hastings Paradox rifled barrel. Custom camo by me. I used a nylon strap to remotely pull the trigger while I hid behind the truck in case parts flew LOL. I'm a chicken- sue me. :oops:
I couldn't set my chronograph up due to the rain so I've no idea of the speed.

Anyway since the first couple shots didn't sound too bad and ejected decently I braved the other two shots by shouldering the gun.

Not exactly a great group. Will work on these.
The next up is the finstr sabot slugs.

The slugs looked to fly straight and not key hole. Not a great group either. But workable maybe. I could only find 2 of the aluminum sabot halves even though I looked for a long time. I wanted to see if the slug carried them thru the target. I could only find 2 of the 50cal slugs in the bank.
