Who has killed with Thugs?

How'd they work for you? Always seemed like the old black winchesters just floored birds. How's the knock down appear to be on the thugs?

They don't kill like the "old blacks" but they're the next best "regular" lead shell that I've tried. I' hsve 5 turkey getters and run 3" thug 5's in one of them..Killed a few with it and never a problem

I shot a couple birds with the Thugs this year, they work fine, hit hard.  Didn't have any problems with them.  I like the way they are plain lead without that copper.

They patterned pretty good for lead in one of my guns.  Never killed a turkey with them.

Is federal still making the Thugs? I am in NJ and can't find them online or in any stores?

[trkehunr93]

Thugs was solely a walmart item, only place I've ever seen them.  They will pop up in the next month or so if Federal is still making them.  This is usually the case at our walmarts and then midway thru our spring season they start marking down to clear out their stock.

Thanks for the reply.

They do pretty well go have that stupid flite control wad. Federal should have kept the old grand slams. That was a fine load for lead.

The thugs do not have the flight control wad

[turkeywhisperer935]

 Sorry, I thought they did. I hate that wad.

I haven't seen them at walmart this year. Heard only Dick's is carrying them. No proof but a buddy told me he read somewhere they have went to crap this year, lots of complaints. Glad I've got 15 boxes I stocked up on the last couple years. Love the Thugs
