To the range w/my Slug Gun


Recommended Posts

I couldn't go out of town, so I ended up at the local range. I brought Winchester XP3 3" for ammo, and they only let me fire 5 rounds. However they were fired into a thick blue plastic drum filled with water. I didn't get to shoot for accuracy or anything of that sort yet, but fun was covered. The Tromix has a shocking ammount of power, felt great, cycled smooth etc. So, the shake down went well, but I will put it through the paces not this weekend but the following.

I'll try to go this weekend again to post pics. The XP3 3" worked the best by far, and I found every 3" worked better than it's 2 3/4 counter part. The Hornady 2 3/4 sadly performed the worst with every shot looking like a flyer. I think the 3" do better because they engage closer to the rifling allow the sabot to be more quickly supported. The second best group was with Remmington AccuTip it held 5 shot groups at 100m ranging from 2" to 3", but spead much more at the end of the range @ 250m. At that range I made consistant center mass shots, but the group was large. All shots were made using nightforce optics seated with sand bags.

 

I also for comparison fired my Remmington 1100 12 gauge with a rifled barrel w/ a 1:36" twist. Barrel is not perm attached and 26" long.

 

The tromix has a perm attached 1:20" twist barrel. The tromix barrel is 16" long.

 

The tromix had the Remmington 1100 hands down, and out preformed it at every range I tried. By far the most accurate Shotgun with a fully rifled barrel I have ever fired!!!

 

Any questions ask I tried damn near every brand and type of sabot slug. I was truly blown away by the accuracy of this shotgun. Tony the rail is perfect the only problem is there is not enough room to run a PVS-27 w/ the nightforce, and my poor PVS-14 just wouldn't take the recoil lol; so I have to wear my damn head gear lol. I can't believe how you were able to align the rail so well and make the dust cover as tight as you did. Amazing truly amazing!!!
