I wanted to kind of "update" my slugs so to speak. I searched and looked and figured the SST's were the best bet to see how they would shoot. I made a huge mistake and bought 8 boxes. I figured I would shoot 2 or maybe 3 to sight in. Let me tell you this...........[/align]I have a Mossberg 835 with a riffled barrel. I have been shooting my old trusty Winchester BRI's for years out of it and they are just fine. The SST's were complete junk out of this gun, and a buddy has a Remmington 870 and they didn't fare much better out of it. Out of the Mossberg I couldn't get them down enough at 50 yards to get on paper. I mean I was 2 ft. high at 50yrds. and I couldn't move my sight any further. (riffle sights)I could aim at the ground in front of target and hit paper and that was it. In my opinion these are just way too "hot" for that barrel or for that gun, so I am stuck with 7 boxes of ammo that is completely useless to me @ $14 a box. Just good for noise makers on the 4th of July I guess. They didn't fly much better out of the Remmington. way high. I'm not a rookie and know what I am doing and for the life of me I can not figure out why they shot like that. I have a hunting buddy who was on the SRT for Ohio Dept. of Corrections and was a sniper for them and he could dono better than me so I figure its the ammo. He said way too "hot" of a load also. I have emailed Hornady and let then know what I thought, didn't do much good , just got my point across to them I guess. I am going to go back to my BRI's why fix what isn't broke I guess. [/align]
