lots of info here:

Short story was the SF penetrated 34.9 inches in their testing, and the Classic Magnum 35.3 inches, so both ought to get the penetration job done..

For what it's worth, I just replaced my Winchester Rack Master Slugs (2 3/4", 1 1/8 Oz, 1625 FPS) with the Federal TruBall Deep Penetrator (2 3/4", 1 Oz, 1350 FPS)

How's the accuracy on those? My shotgun is a Magpul-ized 870 with the tactical choke and a Streamlight tlr hl.

Hey Doc what are your thoughts on the Special Forces Brenneke slug?

Those, which? I've got a 18.5 cylinder bore with a front bead only, so it's not like I'm making precision shots any time soon.

But I will say this, the Rack Masters are pretty brutal to shoot. I'm hoping to hit the range soon to give the TruBall DPs a go. I've also got some TruBall "Regular", and some TruBall Low Recoil that I plan to play with too.

Truball Deep Penetrators,I believe the leb127dprs is the low recoil version.

Don't discount a bead style front sight. I received this picture from my gunsmith. It is five Remington slugs shot quickly, offhand at 25 yards with just the FO front sight and a Benelli short barrel. One called low.

I'm not discounting it persay... I was just thinking that there are more than a few guys on here that could get better groups with a pistol at extended social ranges, then I probably could with a bead barrel shotgun.

So,load my 870 Tactical up with Brenneke THD slugs or Federal Tactical #1 buckshot? They seem to penetrate about the same in gel.
