[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3455208, member: 15054"] I got out the other day and shot some of those slugs. I shot at 50 yards with my 1924 Browning A5 semi auto. All of the loads recoiled very light almost too light. Seemed to recoil less than a field load of 71/2 shot. I used a Lee scooper to do my measuring I used Red dot and Blue dot powder. Much less Red dot. Red Dot was 2.8 cc = 21 gr. Blue Dot was 3.4 cc = 40.2 gr. Both loads shot the same area at 50 and both felt the same in the recoil department. I did a fold crimp and may need to visit a roll crimp. I tried new and used Hulls and found out no matter what you do you need to get the seating depth and crimp exactly the same or you get fliers that make a 3" group go to 8". Just like loading rifle ..keep same cases and same neck tension same seating depth or group size fill not be great. I will say for a defense round they should work great. For killing deer I will need to work on my technique for loading and up the power a bit. But they did go down range and cycled the gun just fine that was the main objective so far. Super easy to load also. Recoil is in the area of a 243 for the above loads. [/QUOTE]
