Well I picked up one of these and after shooting about 70 rounds through it, 40 250gr. swc Magtech loads and 30 of my own 200 gr. cast reloads I am satisfied. I was not impressed at all at first with the Magtech loads, the gun wouldnt group at all, but with the reloads that I worked up things have tightened up to acceptable. I still get the occasional flyer, but that probably has a lot to do with the 1/4 inch of dead space between the chamber and the barrel since it is also chambered for .410 shotshell. I have been testing it at 15 and 30 yards. At the 15 yards I have been getting about 5 inch groups with the occasional flyer, at 30 things start to open up a lot, with only about 3 out of the 5 landing in the 6 inch circle. With the .410 #4 shells at 15 yards the majority of the pellets hit the 12 inch target, which I think is about all that you could ask for a 6.5 inch rifled barrel. The gun doesnt do either thing real well, but it does a descent job of doing both shotgun and pistol. Now lets just hope that it does what I picked it up for and that is carrying in the truck when getting firewood, that way if I see a grouse, or other game animal at close range I can take advanatage of the opportunity.
