Lightfield Ammunition Corporation specializes in manufacturing the hardest hitting, most accurate saboted slugs available to today's hunters for use in their rifled shotgun barrels, even at extended ranges. During that all-important split second immediately after a slug is fired and prior to its exiting the barrel, maximum spin is imparted to the locked sabot/slug assembly. Once it clears the muzzle the design produces incredible projectile stability through both the supersonic and especially the subsonic phases of the slug's flight. Maximized projectile spin rate and flight stability are the most important factors when incomparable consistency and accuracy are the goals. 5 rounds per box.

Rated 4 out of 5 by patrickm09 Lightfield 2 3/4
I bought a remington 870 slug gun with the sureshot stock, I tried both the 3inch sabots that lightfield makes and the recoil was just about unbearable being that the 870 is not a heavy gun. I shot a nice size doe with the 3in 1 1/4 sabot from about 50 yds she only ran about 50 yds as well, I was disappointed that I got no exit on the deer but nevertheless good ethical kill, I purchased some of the 2 3/4in sabot 1450fps "blue shell" for a little less recoil and shot a nice 3 shot group at 50 yds all three holes touching but overall I thnk lightfield makes an excellent product

Rated 3 out of 5 by Geekhunter good slug
Good slugs that hold together when they hit. The challenge with them is their accuracy is not as good as newer slug designs. I used these slugs for 5 years about 8 years ago and they have the same design even though winchester, remington, and hornady have come out with better slugs.
They do the job if you are close but I never shot anything over 100 with these although I shoot 150yds now with the other brands.

Shot a deer 3 times with these slugs. Finished the deer off with my revolver. Kicked like a horse on my shoulder. The shells did, not the deer. Not accurate either.

hi i want to know if this can take down a deer or even a bear in a 20 gauge shot gun full choke
(read all my Q&A)
Answers
A:
The 20ga certainly has enough power to kill deer or bear out to 100 yards. The Lightfield slugs are excellent but should only be used in a rifled barrel. That's where they get their accuracy from. I don't reccomend a full choke for any type of slug.

A:
Using a rifled barrel for whitetail deer, yes. I wouldn't recommend using a smooth bore or choked barrel with this slug. This is a sabot slug and won't act like a rifled slug would in a smooth bore. It is a great slug for rifled barrels though. I know that it will take down deer in 20 gauge. I don't really know about bears though. I would say that you could kill a bear with their 20 gauge slugs, but I would personally want to use a 12 gauge if I were going to try to kill a bear with it.Details:
Both 12 guage are 2 3/4 but different prices. what is the difference?Answers
A:
Velocity is the difference, the cheaper ones are "low recoil" 1300fpsA:
Most of the time the difference comes in the OZ of the pellet. For example; the cheaper may be 1 1/4 OZ and the more exspensive may be 1 5/8 OZ.

A:
The LFH12345 have a heavier charge to them and are rated at 1450fps versus 1300fps.Unless you want a heavy recoil load or need that extra speed because you're shooting long distance I would stick with the lighter load.

Which Lightfield slugs can I use in my Mossberg 12 guage, and do I have to change my barrel.
Answers
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Lightfield would suggest that you only use 2 3/4 in slugs in guns chambered in 2 3/4 or 3 inches. The reasoning is that there is enough gap between the end of the shell and where the chamber necks down to the barrel on a 3 1/2 chamber using a 2 3/4 in sabot slug that the sabot could be push out and separate from the slug, possibly causing pressure issues. From My understanding lightfield is the only manufacturer warning of this possibility. They are also one of the few manufacturers making sabots in 3 - 3 1/2 inches. I think they recommend using the 3 1/2 in slug (or at least the 3 in) in 3 1/2 in chambers. I have never heard of anyone having any problems with this issue. I talked to someone associated with lightfield and they said that they had seen some guns that have erratic patterns with undersized slugs.I have personally used 2 3/4 in lighfield slugs in my 3 1/2 in chambered Mossberg 835 Ultimag 12 gauge with rifled barrels for years and not seen any issues myself. Accuracy is great. I wouldn't use it with a smooth bore though as sabot slugs are made for rifled barrels. And if Lightfields warnings worry you then just play it safe and use a 3 1/2 in slug with a 3 1/2 in barrel.

A:
use regular 2 3/4 inch hybrid...use rifled barrelA:
Depends on if you have a rifled barrel... I have the Mossberg 835 Rifled Barrel w/Cantilever and have to shoot sabots. I love the lightfield sabots. To each gun is different tho.Answers
A:
None. Sabot slugs are meant to be shot out of rifled barrels, smooth bore barrels should shoot the cheaper " rifled slugs"A:
I wouldn't use a sabot slug in a non-rifled bore. Without the spin the slug will be very unstable and inaccurate. Use a Brenneke/Foster rifled slug and a IC choke instead.

A:
I wouldn't use a sabot slug in a smooth bore. Sabot slugs are meant for rifled barrels. They will not act like a rifled slug would in a smooth bore.A:
You will have to experiment with the old "Foster" style slugs to find out which one your gun likes. The Remington Slugger, Winchester rifled slug or the Brenneke rifled slug would be a great place to start.A:
do yourself...and the deer a favor...get a rifled barrel and shoot regular 2 3/4 lightfields...you wont be disappointed1A:
Use any lead slug you want. Do not use a SABOT SLUG. You need to try different slugs to find out what shoots best.Images for this Answer
