Anyone know where to buy 70mm slugs as all I can find are 67.5mm or 65mm . These have been Geco and S&B .I know Winchester make a 70mm but can't find it for sale maybe there are some other brands ?

Any particular reason you are after 70mm slugs over the geco and S&B comp slugs normally found?

My old mag fed shotgun now and again jams with the shorter rounds and prefers 70mm and has no issues .

I think Remington make slugs that are slightly longer than the S&B sport, might be the slugger series, but they're even more expensive.

Having the same problem my gun shoots the s&b well enough but will not cycle them,s&b do a 70mm version the NRA did advertise them but they have disappeared from their website over the weekend. I assume there was a rush on them during the phoenix.

Thanks Lever will give them a call and Mr Smith same thing with my gun . I called the NRA yesterday and got the same answer as you but I did't realise S&B made a 70mm
All the best Chas
