Desolo 55 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Remington 3in slugs, box said something close 1800 FPS? Those things kicked like a mule without a recoil pad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TwentyNizzo 66 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 The most powerful commercial load I've been able to purchase locally is the Federal 3" magnum power-shok slug. 1.25 ounces @ 1600 fps. This is right at 3100 lb/ft of energy. The next most powerful has been the Winchester super-x 3" magnum slug 1 oz @ 1760 fps. This is at 3000 lb/ft of energy. The remington 2 3/4" sluggers available at walmart are way down in power around 2100 lb/ft. Anyways, the Federal will emit an absolutely massive flame. My friend was shooting them out of his 19" S12 and they we're blinding, had to look away. I really want to get my hands on a Lightfield 3" magnum slug. They're the most powerful I've seen online, pushing 3700+ lb/ft of energy, which is absolutely amazing. That's almost 25% more power than the Federal magnums Only thing is they are about $3/round Quote Link to post Share on other sites
