I’ve been doing some research on Hornady 20 gauge SST slugs for deer hunting, and I’m curious to gather some personal experiences and insights from fellow hunters. Are these slugs really as effective as they claim? Below are some points I’d love feedback on:
Performance and Accuracy
How do these slugs perform in terms of accuracy?
What kind of distances are you comfortable shooting with them?
Are they consistent in delivering tight groups?
Sighting In Your Firearm
Any tips on sighting in for these slugs? I want to ensure I’m on target come hunting season.
Do you prefer using a certain type of sight (like open sights vs. optics) with these slugs?
Comparison with Other Types
Have you compared the Hornady SST slugs to any other brands or types (like regular rifled slugs or other sabot slugs)? How do they stack up?
Do you feel that the added cost of Hornady is worth it compared to others?
General Effectiveness
For those who have successfully taken deer with the SST slugs, can you share your experiences?
What’s been the reaction of the game when hit with these slugs?
Your input and experiences will really help me make a decision on whether to go with these slugs or explore other options. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
I’ve been using Hornady 20 Gauge SST Slugs for deer hunting, and I have to say, they are incredibly accurate. The performance is impressive compared to other brands I’ve tried. Anyone else have a similarly positive experience?
While I find the Hornady SST Slugs to be reliable, my personal preference is for Federal Premium Slugs. They have similar accuracy but a bit more power, in my experience.
