Browning BPS slug gun.
« on: August 18, 2009, 03:35:42 PM »
Does anyone have one of these? What are you shooting out of it?

I am not getting the accuracy I thought I would, it has the cantilever scope mount with a Leupold VX II shotgun scope 2x5.

I have used

Remington
    Buckhammer
    Copper solids
    AccuTip
    Core Lokt Ultra
Winchester
     Partition Gold
     Platinum Tip
Hornady
     SST
Lightfield
     Hybred EXP
Federal
     Barnes Expanders

 All of these were shot at 50 yards, off a bench and the best group was with the Lightfields and Winchester Platinum tips with about a 2" group. The worst was the Hornady they keyholed at that distance.

 Any help would be appreciated it is getting expensive trying to find out what this gun likes and I think I might be out of slugs to try.

P.S. I also have this on the Slug gun forum

mine likes Breneke KO and Remington Sluggers. It has the smooth barell with the rifled invector screw in and open sights.

I can't recall if the cantilever BPR barrel was rifled, nor am I familiar with evry shell you listed - but I DO know what has proved out to be a pretty dependable slug gun rule-of-thumb:

Rifled bbl = use saboted slugs.
Smoothbore bbl = use non-saboted, Foster-type or Brenke slugs.
