    alright guys, deer season is rapidly approaching. The gun is a Remington 870 Express with a smooth bore, not rifled. Can shoot 2 3/4" and 3" magnum. I usually use 3" Magnum. Last couple years i used Winchester Super X in 3" or Brenneke 3" magnums. Real impressed with the Brenneke, but i was wondering what you guys shoot or recommend?
    thanks

    Use the slug that's most accurate in your gun. You can't kill what you can't hit.

    That said I use Winchester 2-3/4" Super X in my smoothbore and Lightfield Hybrid Elite in my rifled barrel.

    Last couple of Years I have used the Hornaday SST in a Browning Gold with Custom made rifled slug barrel with pretty good luck
    But like someone else said use what Your Shotgun shoots best
    I Shot a Remington 1100 for years and it liked the cheaper Remington slugs

    My son has the same gun you have and his 870 loves Brenneke's. Last year he bought a box of their Knock Out style in addition to the Magnums and they also were great. Last year he got 2 does, both traveled about 5 feet each from 40 yards.
