I have never had any confidence in my shotguns, never knew where the bullet was going to go and I did not like that! I never had a rifled barrel for any of them so that may have been the problem, but anyhow bought a Remington 700 inline years ago, converted it over to shotgun primers and I shoot a 240 grain sabbot with 150 grains of pellets (3-50's) and it shoots skoal can groups at a 100 yrds. Not only do I have alot of confidence in this setup, it drops the deer in their tracks.
