You can tell that I'm on a smooth bore kick! I bought a rifle sighted, cylinder bore barrel for my New Haven 600 (AKA Mossberg 500) a few weeks ago, just couldn't help myself as in that it was so cheap, and I wasn't sure what I would do with it. I decided to test the Lightfield Slug Company's claim that their slugs shoot just as good from smooth bores as they do rifled barrels so I felt that justified sending seven dollars and fifty cents worth of ammo down range (3 shots).



At 50-yards, the three shots touched. They would have been tighter with a better open sight shooter. I did no barrel prep, the used barrel has some shot/wad/powder residue in it. I just put it on and sent three shots down range. To me, the ammo performance is impressive.

Since no one would typically use slugs as "blasting" ammo, the price of the Lightfield Slug Company's ammo is justified from what I can see.

Dude. For what I've spent on components over the last six years, I wish I had bought 500 rounds of it and called it a day. Of course, for fellows like us, once you head down the slippery reloading slope, you just keep feeding the monster. It's our addictive behavior. At least for me it is.

Maybe you need to add a "X" rating to as well as health hazard warning like this Site is know to serious behavioural issues. "Slippery slope" doesn't begin to cover the life changes this reloading/handloading does to the brain.

Thank you for feeding the addiction.

Michael, that's really hitting the nail on the head.

that is awesome! I have had great accuracy out of the plain Winchester 2 3/4" "pumpkin balls" in smooth bores regardless of gun. Prob 3x in 2" with irons. But never anything like that!

This is where I didn't heed the lesson. I have not been able to beat the accuracy of the LightFields, no how much money I throw at it.

Where you getting the LightFields?

I found the best pricing through Bud's plus their shipping has been very low, half compared to other sources. The specific ammo I would recommend to anyone is the Lightfield Hybred Elite 2 ¾".
