[quote=Ken61]I'm considering deer hunting this year, mainly because one of my sons has moved back and I'd like to hunt with him. I'd really like to use my Remington 1889 hammer gun. I'm thinking of using the slug below with three dr. of BP loaded into a paper hull and roll crimped. Do I need other components for the load? I am well equipped with roll crimping supplies, I've just never made a slug load.

Ken
I don't know about where you live, but here is only game available are: deer, squirrels, Euro-asian dove, turkey, ducks, geese and the Corvidae family for live practice I suggest Ohio made Ithaca 37 Turkeyslayer with fixed 24" barrel. You will need Browning Inv. Plus riled tube designed for both rifled and sabot slugs. The best rifled slug for mine is reduced velocity/recoil Fiocchi and best sabot from Winchester. This gun will serve all your needs: small game, big fame and HD. The best pump gun I have ever owned. I would let that Remington hammer gun go. As time goes by suitable ammo will be more and more difficult to find.
