slug drop from 50 to 100 yds

Strange you should ask that. I looked it up on Winchester.com last night.

There are no balistics for slugs. Oh well.

Let me know when you find something out.

It all depends on your gun and slug you are shooting but if you sighted your gun in 2.5" high at 50 then you will be right about dead on at 100 yards. There is usually some ballistics on the box of slugs to help you out.

This is from Lightfields site:

Zero your gun at 50 yards, 2-3/4" high of absolute dead center on your target...no left, no right, simply 2-3/4" high. You will then be dead-on zeroed at 100 yards because gravity will see to it. Check trajectory data for the brand of ammunition you are shooting and adjust the height of your 2-3/4" 50 yard true zero as necessary so as to produce a dead-on gravity zero at 100 yards.

I WOULD SAY IT DEPENDS ON YOUR EQUIPMENT.I HAVE OPEN SIGHTS ON MINE AND IT SHOOTS THE SAME AT 75 YARDS AS AT 50.DIFFERENT SLUGS FLY DIFFERENT OUT OF DIFFERENT GUNS,BUT I WOULD NOT THINK IT WOULD BE MORE THAN AN INCH OF DROP OUT OF A RIFLED BARREL WITH SABOTS.

Somewhere between 2" and 2 feet. I can narrow it down a bit if you tell me what gauge you are shooting, what ammo you are shooting, and how you are sighted in at 50 yards.

2" high at 50yds. out of my 12ga. smooth bore 870 will make me 1/2" low at 100yds., using federal classic rifled slugs. 2"high at 50 using my 12ga. h&r will make me about 1 1/2" high at 100 yds. using federal barnes expanders. (both are 2 3/4's)....but as we all know........ all guns are different!! have fun!!

Is your slug barrel smooth or fully rifled ?

The only way to be sure is set up at 100 yds. and shoot the thing.

Buy a couple boxes of slugs and go find out!!
