I received 50 rnds of monolit28 steel slugs, went to the range today to see how these guys shoot. I loaded five rounds into my 930, the first shot was low but the next four had better grouping. The recoil was a bit light in the 930 due to the gas system, I had no FTF,FTE the rounds cycled without a single problem after 20 rounds. It did leave a gold tone material behind in the action area but not in my 590A1, the 590A1 still has a almost horizontal pattern to it, the recoil was a bit more with the pump action. Once again no FTF or FTE's this gun has been rock solid from day one.
Over all the Monolit28 was longer then the "normal" 2 3/4" round instead of 7+1 and 8+1 subtract one with this round
1. Overall use- this is supposed to be a hunting round that is safe for the enviroment, it uses a galvanized coated steel slug, also minimizes lead fouling in the barrel could be used as a home defense round.
2. Price- I got these rounds for $3.49 for a box of five from SGammo $149.50 for a case of 250 not a bad price.
3. Pattern- your mileage may vary, I got a 5" pattern from 25 yrds on a bench rest 9" overall with 5 shots from my 930, I still have yet to solve the 590A1 patterns yet.
4. Fouling- these rounds shot pretty clean in my 590A1, but a tad dirty in my 930, I have to figure out what the gold tone flakes are. The top target is the 930, the bottom target is the 590A1
Would I buy this ammo again? yes would I recommend this round to a friend? yes
