Here is some ballistics for a Remington 3" slug at 350yards. Velocity = 829 FPS Energy = 669 FT-LBS Drop = -161.87 Inches.


Just under 13 1/2'. That's a lot of hold over.

You'd likely bugger up and loose 9 out of 10 IF you did hit it.

but with only a few model 12s ever being made in 3 inch for some special duck guns and the boxes of 25 round slugs I really figured 2 3/4 inch slugs

so using Remington's 2 3/4 info at 350 yards 631fps 387fpe 178.5 inches of drop with a 100 yard zero and if a 10 mph full value cross wind 99.5 inches of hold off for wind correction.


I am sorta thinking he measures yards like Wolfies grandpa in feet

350 feet makes a lot more sense that would be 116 yards which with a 30 inch barrel would be very possible you would need to hold about 7 inches high on a 50 yard zero and the slug would be 981fps and 936fpe with a 13 inch wind drift


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
