Decided long time ago to stick with Winchester SuperX 1oz. slugs....12 ga.
They are X12RS15 Rifled Hollow Points 1600fps. They shoot good an cheap...15 for under 10.00. At the range today, with brand new box I only had to make a slight change to the left an down....pretty much zeroed at 55yds an 113 yds. An out of the rifled an scoped Mossberg 500 got consistent 3" groups. The next range setting was 220 yds.....didn't try it, but would like to know where I would hit at least out to 150 yds because for deer season I'm hunting open corn fields. Winchester's ballistics show that a zero at 50 yds. would equal a 5.9" drop at 100 yds.....?...this doesn't add up...an at 125 yds it will drop 12.1".....I was hoping to have some idea how much higher to aim at 150 yds, but this is formula isn't going to work...could Winchester's ballistic be this far off....?
