That's the key to any slug gun, it seems - find the slugs it likes. My deer gun is an old Winchester Model 12. It likes the cheap Winchester slugs. Anything else it throws all over the place!

On opening day this year I think I am going to carry my old Remington 700 BDL in 25-06.
It was made in 1970 so best let it shoot something for its 50th.
Original Redfield widefield 3x9 and 115 grain Nosler Partition's.

Bergara b14 timber chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor shooting hand rolled 129 grain hornady SST's or interlocks

Yep. I bought the Remington and started with Remington slugs thinking they'd be a match but they weren't. I was pulling my hair out trying to find a slug that would group when a buddy of mine who doesn't even own a slug gun suggested Lightfield ammo. I had little left to lose and tried them out of desperation. Bingo, they grouped well.

My model 700 Remington mountain rifle in 270 caliber.

same rifle, but in .308 win. 165 grain Hornady American Whitetail ammo

Marlin1895CB in 54-70Weaver2x7 Hornaday leverlution

I used a 300 win mag. Way to big for deer but I ha e a late season elk tag and didn’t want to waste ammo sighting in two rifles.

Thats a caliber... what Rifle?

I decided on my Browning SS. A-BOLT In a 25-06.

So Good Night All and Good Shooting in the AM for those of us in Minnesota

I am so jealous. My first rifle was a model 600 in 308. Like a dumb kid I decided I wanted something different and traded it off. I keep looking for another but haven't found the right one yet. I don't know how many deer it killed plus a few elk and bear.

Ruger .280 or .308

Can hardly wait to carry out the Savage Model 99C .308 Redfield Widefield 4X Federal Trophy Copper 150 grain. Happy trapping! ScottW

Marlin 336 30-30win
Ar-15 6.5 Grendel

The 30-30 was my dad's and i like to hunt with it most. It kills just as dead as my bigger rifles but without all the bloodshot meat.
When i expect longer shots in the fields i carry the Grendel.

Good luck today MN folks!

Yes, good luck and stay safe, and we expect pictures!

Marlin 1895 Guide Gun in .45-70. I customized it extensively when I worked in firearms restoration. Shoots 2" groups at 100 yards and I dont have to track them very far.

Ruger American 30-06

I will be hunting with my Savage ML 2 smokeless muzzle loader. Shooting a sabotted .45 cal, 300 gr hornady xtp mag pushed by 41 gr of accurate 5744. This combo has downed many deer for me.

For 23 years i've been using my Ruger 280,last year i won a Christensen Arms for a Big Buck contest so the 7mm mag is going out with me this am,good luck to everyone.
