I am sorry to say, every gun is different.
Even if we bought the same gun, side by side with one digit different in the SN, its most likely they would shoot the same loads differently.

 The only way to find out is to buy a couple different boxes and go shoot!!

 I can tell you what I have found preforma well on game... Close range Remington BUCKHAMMERS, Longer range REMINGTON Ultra Core lokts. This is for the 12ga. I havent shot too many with the 20, but the old Rem coppersolids worked well, too.

My 20 ga USH shoots the CCS slugs from Gun Servicing( tel 609-261-7373) better than any others I have tried.  Remington copper solids did well also however they are quite a bit more per box.  Once I tried the CCS I quit looking, they really impressed me.

I am sure they will answer your e-mail.  They have been great people to deal with, at least with me so far.  I have called them a number of times for advice and they have been very helpful.  They have been prompt with their shipments and even though they say they don't ship until your check clears they have always sent mine right away.
