I like Aguila Mini-Slugs for my 1300 Defender - 11 rounds with a .72 dia 385gr soft lead slug @ 1250 FPS. The flat meplate punches clean wadcutter holes in the black past 25 yards. They would lay the smack DOWN on any bad guy

They're an excellent home-defense choice for double-barrel shotguns and 1300s, but arguably not for hunting due to their low ballistic coefficient and poor sectional density. Perhaps they may be useful for close range, rough brush deer and pig hunting
