Yes it will track better than shorter ones.The center of gravity being way forward is a factor also. Here are more samples of nice 12ga slugs..Here is pic of ones RG Henson sent. Jacketed 12ga. 715gr hollowpoints, on the right and in front a jkt 675gr hollowbase. RG's number 1-770-366-4846. These will be great for shorter plastic and brass cases as well as long cases. Other slugs in pic, in the back, left to right Foster 436gr- Dixie 600gr- 750gr brass- 750gr hollowbase brass, and a hollowpoint I put a lightweight plastic filler in the nose for streamlining..Ed
