Mine shoots pretty well, If I am doing my part.  I shoot the Federal 2 3/4" Barnes Expander in 3/4 oz at 1900fps.  Well do 2 inches at 100 yds on a really good day

I shoot the same as rscout group size is the same also.  people i know say the 20 gauge is also a good shooter with less recoil.

Ditto on the Barnes Expander 2 3/4", 3/4 oz sabots.

Accuracy is exceptional.   I dug one out of the mud and it expanded like a daisy flower.  Perfect expansion and razor sharp edges (no lead as they are solid copper).

Cost is another thing.  These slugs are VERY expensive.  I also use them in my 209x50 .  300 grain.
