I was shooting mine today. The 200 grain XTP was doing well with 100 grains of Schuetzen 3f powder. Then I tried a Speer 180 grain Gold Dot and I have hand shotguns that held a better group.

I did find it likes powerbelts. But those are far to expensive to shoot for fun. So if you have that barrel and a load that works for you, give me a shout. Or else that barrel is going down the road.
Darn Dave, i shoot the 180 grain speer from my GM barrels with really good accuracy. I am shooting a hotter load though - 110 grains T7-2f...

Which sabot were you using? I shoot it with the MMP light tan and I know others shoot it with Harvesters. I just prefer the MMP as the polymere formulation is a little softer and forms to the lands and grooves really well.
