I've patterned mine, yes.
By the way, a shotgun slug makes a single hole
Yes, I have.
BTW, checking some NEW slugs I just got. Old 1 1/4 lead slugs shot 3" high at 20 yrds and dead on at 10 and 75 ??????
New 1 oz solid copper slugs shot dead on at 20 and 75, but 1" low at 10.
HD load is 1 1/2 oz of 5s. Will not penetrate walls at 20', but guaranteed to attitude adjust any intruder.
holy sh**t .. 1 oz copper slugs is an armour piercing round .. that would NOT be good for home defense.
seems to me you'd want low threat of unwanted collateral damage.
no expansion in this test

Not using slug for HD. Just acquired the copper slugs and was checking POI.
HD load is 1 1/2 oz #5s, as stated. Because they will not penetrate and cause collateral damage, but extremely destruction to those requiring lead injections for attitude adjustment.
Was reloading 3" 1 7/8oz 7 1/2's and spreader wad, but did not like shooting them, they had a bit of kick to them
But, what a cloud of lead.

I believe I read somewhere that somewhere like 80% or more of self defense shootings happen within 6 feet. I can't remember where I read that at though so don't quote me on it. I know that there are slot of people actually believe you don't have to aim. Heck my dad has been around guns since he was a kid and he even believed that. I had to convince him he was wrong. I know exactly how mine will perform. Unless something catastrophic happens.http://youtu.be/5oDG2i6rwjU I don't know how to embed videos directly into the post so here is a link. Tnoutdoors9 on YouTube made a video with Remington sluggers into jugs of water and a block of sim test gel. I have never seen a block of gel flop around like that. Check it out for yourself.
I recall reading the copper slugs are used in maritime operations.
"When necessary, the flares are replaced in the shotgun’s breech with copper sabot slugs, a type of round found to be effective at penetrating fiberglass hulls and cowlings to reach the engine blocks they contain. Once disabled or otherwise stopped, the officers quickly pull alongside the suspect vessel, where they cross over the gunnels and begin directing the suspects into a handcuffing position."

Yeah, I like these Razorbacks well enough that they may be my go to loads.....I fired a few more this morning, one from about 20` that I pulled to the left a bit.
