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.
