Hey just and FYI (some of you may know this already), but you can get 15 packs of Winchester Super X  (1oz, 1600 FPS) slugs at Wally's for $8.97.

Wow maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. I only found one box of 5rd Super X for $3.17.

[Jaggy13]

I had to ask for them, they were behind the counter at the store I was at.

Wally world is the best place to buy slugs and buck, they beat all the big hunting stores.

Wait, are you sure it was a box of 15? I've only seen boxes of 5 and 10.

[Jaggy13]

yup.
Nealio had 2 boxes on his work bench, reminded me to grab some and I confirmed the price from the store.
I had to get them from behind the counter in the locked case.

I just picked up 2 boxes. $8.97 for a box of 15.

I'm beginning to think cut shells might be a better way to go than slugs

ya but they dont work so well in a auto
and single shoting it isnt fun

Hmmmm, I'm workin on that semiauto problem.
I'll try out a few different cut designs the next time I go out to the range

[Nealio]

Has anyone tried shooting them in an auto or is this rumor they won't work?

Costa said "NO"!
So you should use the cut shell with extreme caution.

I would be concerned about the shell breaking in the lift gate and jamming the weapon. or breaking in the feedtube.

[carharttfarmer]

have tried abot 10 threw my sx2 but just one at a time 8 worked fine but 2 just made a normal pattern  with a chunk of red case out there with it
so 5.50 a box and the time to cut target loads
or $9.30 for centuion slugs that work everytime
im cheap but not that cheap:)

I don't know how it would break in the tube.  Its compressed by the spring, which would keep it together.

But yeah since its cut there is a chance that it could some partially apart on the gate and jam.

[Jaggy13]

hmmm,
So.... How many cut shells did you make when you had nothing else to do?

[carharttfarmer]

i have done just enough to know a serated stea knife cuts them better than anything
just a pain to do with out ending up cutting all the way threw  just rember shotshells are under a little pressure so they will push apart some if you cut to far
