Any advice on slugs for the T/C Encore Pro Hunter 20 gauge? Remington premiers? Hornady's? Winchester slugs? Any help is much appreciated!

Hi Guys, I have tried just about all the slugs out there. I live in a Pa. and hunt the S.E. Pa. special regulated area's (i.e. the mushroom farms). The permits are easy to get at the court house and plenty of deer. I have a 12 ga. and my cousing has 20 ga. SS 28" PH Fully Rifled Slug Guns. We both shoot the Lightfield Hybrid Express Sabot Slugs. There made right here locally in Pa. Someone suggested them to me at the range due to there extreme accuracy. I bought a pack and have been sold on them. Both my cousing and I use them, 12 and 20 ga. slugs (sub 1.5" MOA @ 125yds. using 2-7X32 Leupold scopes). Super deadly up to 200 yards. Perhaps a little more distance (i.e. reach out and touch them) with the 20 ga. Nevertheless, still great. Now for the bad, for a box of Lightfield Hybrids they cost $17.99 over at Cabela's and $19.99 at Bass Pro Shops. However, to cut the expense. If you shoot a lot of sabot slugs like I do. I've bought them by the case from www.natchezss.com out of Tenessee at a discounted rate. They will let you mix/match as long as you buy a case. I know they are pricey for a box of 5 but they are well worth it. I get my limit of deer every season with these. I mean, these hybrids drop them like they been hit by a bag of hammers!!! LOL! I never had one get back up on me. Try them out and let me know how you make out. kimbo

Hey JGerber, I can't remember exactly what I paid - I believe roughly $12.99 a box since my cousin bought half 20ga. and I bought the other half case of 12ga. Thats all we shoot is the Lightfields. If I'm not mistaken, Lightfield makes something like 6 to 8 different style 12 ga. and 20 ga. slugs. I like the hybrids, but the plain lightfield sabots are also good. kimbo
