I'm curious as to what Rifled Slugs folks at AR15.Com prefer for defense.

I like to choose optimal loads for my weapons
but for my Tac Shotguns my loads are pretty general: Remington Slugger 1.oz 2 3/4 solid slugs
and 00 Buck. What do you use?

With my personal shotguns, I like Federal Magnum 00 and Federal 1oz slugs for general purpose.  I used to keep some of the Federal Tactical load 00, but since it doesnt function 100% in my Benelli, I only keep the full power stuff on hand now.  I also have a few of the Brenneke 1oz slugs in the side saddles of my Benelli and 870.  They are a full sharp edged profile slug, made of extremely hard lead.  The only slug Id depend on for getting through something to the target on the other side

Winchester 2 3/4" non magnum #1 Buck, 16 pellet load, and Federal 2 3/4" 1oz. lead slug.

12 ga Thermo Nuclear Tip, If it does not go
through, you just eliminate the target

im sure any slug will do the trick. at least i have never heard of a slug not doing the job on anything smaller than a mule deer

Has anyone done a comparison between
Federal 2 3/4 1oz. slugs vs. their 2 3/4
1oz. "Advanced Technology" slugs?

remington low recoil, no kick and actually works in my POS mossberg everything else jams.

I've been wanting to try Sabot loads for the longest time, but I'm working with standard
Cylinder Bore scatter gun barrels in both my
SGs. Getting a rifled barrel would be great but
I figure it would it would limit my load versatility. Anybody mess around with Flachettes?
