When you are throwing a big chunk of lead like that - more then 50 yards, it is hard to predict from one time to the next where it is going to hit - due to factors beyond your control such as wind speed, outside temperatures, shooting up hill vs down hill etc.
Disagree. My H&R 12ga. Slugster can put Hornady SST's at 200 yards in a 3" group. I wish I had the 20ga. I hear they shoot even better.

My best advice is start with bore sighting and go from there. How about you tell us what gun you got and maybe someone here can be of more help as they might have the same gun and can point you in the right selection as far as ammo goes.
