These slugs, oomans.

Are they alive or dead?

Battery farmed or organic, free range?

So why have the NRA banned plastic wads?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

I'm assuming they don't want their newish butt zero range being covered in plastic wads and I can understand the decision Still a pain for those of us who find that the slug for sale doesn't shoot as well as our home loads and indeed don't want to spend £120 plus for a days target shotgun.

Cheapest S&B slug I know of is sixty pound a hundred,.I'm only down for the phoenix and the nationals usually and ideally I'd shoot T&P1,multi target and embassy cup semi and pump and maybe classic T&P1.This would require 186 rounds add to this the seven courses of fire at something like eight pounds or so entry fee.
