Slug recommendations for a tactical shotgun

[ATCclears]

I just got a good deal on a Benelli SuperNova Tactical.

I am researching slugs and noticed that some manufacturers do not recommend their slug in some barrels or guns. Any recommends are appreciated.

Since most tactical shotguns have a fully open "Cylinder Bore" they are made to shoot slugs. (Sabbot slugs from my understanding require a rifled barrel, so that would be the exception.)

For personal defense I'm looking to pick up some Winchester PDX1. (Contains a 1oz. slug and 3 00 Buck shots in one shell!)

buy the cheapest 2 3/4in rifled slugs you can and stock up

I keep mine loaded with Brenneke slugs. They are a proven stopper on man and beast alike.

Federal Tactical® TruBall® Rifled Slug

for buck shots,

Federal Tactical® Buckshot FLITECONTROL

From my research, they are slightly better than other brands/types. Not because of word "tactical".

Nothing even compares to the DPX Barnes all copper slugs. They will open uo to 2 X caliber. Just imagine. Federal loads them

Corbon don't make 12ga ammo or you are just assuming?

Barnes makes the all copper slugs if you were referring to my post

I'm with Skang: if accuracy is the goal, nothing beats Fed Tru-Ball slugs out of a cylinder bore.
At HD ranges, maybe you'd want to go with one of the radical-expanding designs.

I would believe,at HD ranges,most slugs will do a great job on the soft human body.
Killing game at longer ranges is a bit different.

If you go to Box o Truth,you can see that slugs don't much care about walls,so shot placement would be a good thing.
