QT,

This past spring I Purchased the 870 "Special Purpose" 12 gauge. In past 3 weeks I have tested/shot 5 brands and shot approx 35-45 rounds. This past week I bought 2 boxes of Lightfields and 2 boxes Rem copper solids, both 2-3/4. These seemed to be the top choice for this gun.

I let the gun cool between shots and cleaned every 3rd or 4th shot. Shot 2 boxes of Lightfields with best groups at 2-3" at 65 yrds. Not bad but wasn't that impressed considering I'll be shooting in the 100yrd range with this gun. I ran 4 copper solids thru gun with 1/4-1/2" groups! I'm impressed!

Seems this particular 870 loves copper solids and the Lightfields ain't bad.
