G2 Research RIP 12 Gauge Slug

A: They are safe to fire in a cylinder bore gun but are also massively overpriced snake oil. 00 buckshot is popular and widespread for a reason, though if overpenetration and thin walls are a real concern, smaller sizes like #4 buck are probably the best option.

A: Hi Jon and welcome. The best bet for home defense distances with the right amount of stopping power and less chance of overpenetration to possibly hit neighbors or loved ones is #4 Buckshot loads. I highly recommend these loads : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/65661/federal+12+ga.+2+3+4+27+pel.+4+lead+buckshot ------------------------------------------------------------ https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/151718/barnes+defense+buckshot+loads+20+ga.+2.75+in.+4bk+21+pellets+5+rd. ----------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

A: Wouldn't be my goto for HD. Better options out there for sure. Yes you can shoot this through a 590 with a cylinder bore. Personally, at the very most, if you're not concerned with overpenetration the #4 buck would be my choice.

A: Hi Randy and welcome. Yes. Recommend the open Cylinder Choke as modified or full choke will likely be damaged and hamper the performance of this brass slug. Demonstration of the RIP Slug video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu8hUhsCTRU ---------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
