Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Dedicated 20 gauge for deer hunting

Don't forget, Lightfield Hybred 20 gauge slugs are "full size", meaning they are as big around (same diameter) as a saboted 12 gauge slug! And they flat, flatten a deer hit with 'em. I shoot a dedicated 20 gauge Encore with Lightfields, and anything 100 yards in is in serious trouble.

I'm with yukonal on this one. My T/C Encore 26" 20ga rifled slug barrel will shoot :

Lightfield Hybred EXP 2 3/4
Winchester Supreme Elite 3"
Remington Premier AccuTip 3"

Put all 3 types of ammo / same point of impact.

My H&R Ultra Slug Hunter in 20 gauge is very accurate with just about anything even the standard rifled slugs but expect to do some lead removal if you shoot them. I got this gun just before deer season a couple years ago, put a 3x Weaver with a post reticle on it and the only non bare lead slugs I could find were Brenneke old style with the point on em. No problem as they shot 3 touching at 75 yards. Thumped a doe and a hog with it and could not ask for better performance. Now I shoot Remington BuckHammers, very accurate and more powerful than the Brennekes but I have yet to knock anything off with them.
