Default RE: Different Ammo shoots alot differently?

As already mentioned, rifled barreledslug guns can be extremely pickyas towhich slugs they like.You have to sight your gun in with the slugs you are going to use when hunting, no matter how much they cost. Your example is a perfect reason why you have to do this. I shot 3 inch groups with myrifled barrel 11-87 12 ga.at 100 yards with both Winchester Partition Gold and Hornady SST slugs. They grouped about 15 inches apart on the target though. ThePartition Gold's were low and to the right, the SST's high and to the left.I had similar results with my fathers rifled barrel 11-87 20 ga.There was about a foot difference between Remington Core Lokt Ultras and Lightfield slugs.
