I was told recently that there are factory loads for 12 ga. 3" mag. at 2300fps- anybody know about that?

I think chuckhawks.com has some info on that....maybe those 3 1/2 inch turkey load bas**ds

[processing please hold]

Hell, I thought 1700fps was good.

A .458 Lott, which is a stretched .458 winchester Magnum fires a 1.1 oz (500gr) slug at 2300fps for 5873 foot pounds of energy.

A normal 12 ga 1.25 oz load moves about 1500fps for about 1600 foot pounds of energy.

To get 2300 out of a 12 ga you would have to more than double the energy and quadruple the chamber pressure, or use a sabot and a payload so light it would be useless, maybe 1/4 oz.

Winchester has a Platinum Tip slug @ 1900. Looks like a rifle bullet. It carries Energy way out, much better than the usual shotgun slug.
Use in a rifled barrel.
