What factory produced 3" mag saboted 12 ga slug has the most knock down power? I assume its the Lightfield 3" Commander IDS?
Thanks

As mentioned earlier, the Dixie cartridges are lacking in energy compared to what else is available.hornet22savage said:Yes Lightfield phased out the Commander IDS and replaced it with the IDS Plus, the slug went from 1 1/16 at 1800 FPS to 1 3/8 at 1700 FPS. That has got to be the hardest factory load on the market. My self I like the Remington Core Lokts, the Winchester Platmium Tips hit pretty hard too but I hear Winchester phased them out in favor of the Dual Bonds. Both the Core Lokts and the Platnium Tips are 2 3/4. I shot the Accu Tips last year and while the accuracy was good I had one shot pass completly through with no expansion and had to track and spend a second shell. First shot was a double lung, second shot I went for the shoulder and the slug expanded fine and took out the heart. My first deer with them the slug worked fine and I recovered it a perfect mushroom.
