remington 870 vs. benelli nova pump?

April 21st, 2011 by eranio

wen i say slugs i mean full bore slugs and those special slugs like a .50 caliber slug incased in a plastic thing so it fits the bore
which is better in accuracy and wich is a better slug gun with fully rifled barrels for deer hunting and can i get them tapped for scopes…. wat are the price ranges for these and are there better slug guns out there for cheap

Can you carry a shotgun in your own yard?

April 1st, 2011 by eranio

I was sitting at my desk when all of a sudden my dog went bonkers i mean just insane!
So I grabbed my Remington 870 super mag loaded up with slugs, buckshot, and bird shot and headed out to look. I seen a cop drive by, BUT he didnt stop me.

He may have not seem me, but is it legal to carry a shotgun in your own yard in a suburban area

Best set up to hunt deer with a Benelli Nova pump w/o rifled barrel?

March 24th, 2011 by eranio

Here is the situation. I have a Benelli Nova pump 28" barrel that I use and quite enjoy for dove and other bird hunting. I was told I could get a rifled barrel for it for deer hunting. As it turns out you can but they are SUPER hard to find and SUPER expensive. I believe Ithaca makes a 24" rifled barrel but I have heard of issues with it on the Nova.

So my question is what would be the best set up to hunt deer with what I got. Slugs, choke, sites, I wouldn’t think you would use a scope with a smooth bore slug but again I am not an expert by any means so if I am wrong, please advise. This will be my first deer hunt with this gun. Advice, technique, pointers, anything would be helpful. THANKS SO MUCH!

Shotgun Ammunition Question: Different load sizes, load types etc? please explain to a beginner?

March 22nd, 2011 by eranio

I recently got my first shotgun, a Mossberg 500 combo.

I know the basics, the difference between a slug, buckshot and birdshot but want to know about the different types of these loads….
Give me an overview, what is 00 Buckshot? what is light target? what is the most powerful load of buckshot? the least powerful load? ditto for birdshot….
What type of slug is hardest hitting? is there a difference between lead and steel shot?
non lethal slugs? etc..
Any information on ammo types would be greatly appreciated.

(LOL, I went to the gun shop and bought Winchest AA 8-shot light target ammo… then realized is really not a good ammo for home defense.. so guide me in the right direction for Home Defense ammo type) thanks!
Hey thanks for all your help… The websites are great! It will be really tough deciding who gets best answer…
I live in a VERY crowded city, in an upstairs apartment, so I want something like 00 Buckshot I take it….. also it is a very ghetto city, hence why I bought the gun…
(I know, I know, move out of the ghetto right? Saving for a house/just graduated from college… so the ghetto area is my only option at the moment… lol)

Can I hunt deer with my Benelli Vinci?

March 14th, 2011 by eranio

Hi guys, I bought a Benelli Vinci for waterfowl hunting and love it. Can I use slugs in it? They have not yet come out with a rifled barrel because the barrel also contains the action. Any suggestions? I guess I could use buck shot, but I have heard it isnt that great. I have been invited to go deer hunting and am not sure what to use. Thanks, guys!!
my friend bow hunts, and he is not sure what the details are. rifles are not legal for deer hunting in illinois.

Could a 118 pound man handle the recoil of shotgun slugs?

March 13th, 2011 by eranio

When I have zeroed in my shotgun from the bench the felt recoil exceeded that of my 30-06. Could a very small person who hunts deer with a 44-40 handle the recoil of slugs in an Ithaca model 37?
Newell, who are you? I didn’t say anything about you? What has this got to do with you? Why are you being so sensitive?

Thinking of putting a scope on my Remington 870 w/ slug barrel?

March 8th, 2011 by eranio

For next deer season. Will the scope stay zeroed in with the recoil of 3 inch slugs? I’ve never had a problem with scopes on my rifles (.30-06, .308) going out of whack because of recoil, but the recoil on my shotgun makes the rifle recoil seem like a love tap.
I can go down to 2 3/4 I guess.

Shotguns are all we can use in Iowa; Rifles I use in WI.

How can I safely empty the powder out of shotgun shells?

January 13th, 2011 by eranio

The shells are a for a 410 shotgun and I have both slugs and birdshot and I would like to know the safest way to get the gunpowder out intact.
do you mean just take a knife and cut it in half above the metal?

What is a typical muzzle velocity for a .410 shotgun slug?

January 12th, 2011 by eranio

And what are some typical slug weights in this size? I realize that there may be variations between manufacturers, so just ballpark it and that’ll be fine. Also, what, if any, game animals are they effective on?

Also, does anybody think that it would be worthwhile to try developing rifled barrels and saboted slugs for this size shotgun?

Thanks for taking the time to answer this question.

Looking for a shotgun for home defense?

January 5th, 2011 by eranio

I’ve got my eye on the marine magnum from Remington:
http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model_870/model_870_marine_magnum.asp -will this be a wise choice of investment? What price range would you expect to pay and should I use a combination of buckshot and slugs? Any info is appreciated as I am still learning about shotguns.
