Ok heres the deal. I picked up a scope for my 20ga Remington 870 Express last week (last minute decision). Planned on spending a few days sighting it in but then I got sick and was in the hospital. Anyway, I had my first chance to sight it in yesterday and man was I dissapointed. At 25yds I'm shooting 5" groups and at 50yds, well you don't want to know. The gun doesn't have a rifled barrel so I didn't expect rifle accuracy but I figured I'd be able to get decent groups at 50yds.
I sighted in my blackpowder gun at the same time. All three shots are touching dead on at 50yds. So my question is do you think I should use the blackpowder or run OO Buckshot through my 12 gauge? My shots are going to be 50yds or less with most under 30yds.
Now I know accuracy wise there really isn't a question. The problem is the unloading of the blackpowder everyday, and the ease of use. The 12ga would be a lot easier to use but is it worth it?
I've posted about the buckshot a while ago and got a lot of mixed reviews on it so I'm still a bit confused. Season starts Monday so I'm even more confused now.<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
