A few years back Hastings came out with a 20 gauge 3 1/2" slug load and they worked out a deal with NEF/H&R to make some 20 gauge Slug Hunter Deluxe models with 3 1/2" chambers .

The factory loading had a 410 grain slug if my memory serves . They weren't expensive I think I bought one of the guns for about $350 and a box of 5 slugs was a I think about $10 .

Thing shot well but that 410 grainer would thump you pretty well even in the HEAVY H&R/Hastings Slug Hunter Deluxe . Think I took that one to the Blackwater NWR for the gun hunt one year but that was the only time I used it . Very shortly there after like many others down the road it went .

As to a 12 gauge 3 1/2" slug load I can't say as I want any parts of that . My Browning A-5 12 Mag with the slug barrel shooting factory 3" Foster slugs is plenty recoil for me .
