Well I got a chance to play some more. I went and picked up some different shells to try. I could not find any brenneke shells around here. I did shoot a few rifled slugs thru it, but they were cheap cabela's ones, sellier & bellot's. They actually shot pretty good out of it. I only shot two, but they were right next to eacher and in the bullseye. Better than the Lightfield sabots were for more than twice the money! They did make a mess in my barrel, but it cleaned up ok.

So going by this I picked up some winchester and federal rifled slugs to see what they would do. The sellier's were really lacking on power. I also got some winchester platinum tip sabots, 1700 fps with a 400 grn bullet. I decided to shoot the expensive ones first (actually only 10 bucks at wally world). Good thing too, they shoot pretty good as far as I can tell. I shot a three shot group that was around 1 to 1.5 inches at 100 yards. This is acceptable to me. I don't expect much better really with a 4 power scope at 100 yards. I can barely make out the target for the most part. My ML is slightly better at 100 yards, but it has a more powerful scope and much better trigger.

I still had the scope set for the lightfields at 100 yards. The new 400 grainers shot 7 inches high! I adjusted the scope and the last two shots went in the top part of the two inch cirlce I was shooting at. I didn't bother shooting the other brands of shells. These suckers do kick though. Not worse than my ML with a full charge, and nothing like my turkey loads. I probably won't even notice when hunting. I might try a few other brands just for the heck of it as well. I might even shoot the rifled slugs to see what happens, just to get rid of them.

It's amazing how changing ammo in these guns makes such a big difference. I guess they are pretty picky.
