Savage 220F And Ammo
Guys I know there has been many post about the 220F and the ammo used. I'm going to purchase this shotgun in 2 weeks, seems like the majority of the ammo used and liked by this shotgun is the Remington Accu-Tips, but my question is 2-3/4" or 3" shells? Also I know shotguns are iffy & I will try some other brands as well.

I'm going to purchase it the week of December 13th, this is after our annual 6 day deer season. Purchasing it from Cabelas, I have over $200 in gift cards, I also have their coupon that gives off at the register $100 if you spend over $500, plus I have points from my Cabelas Visa, in no rush to sight it in, I will wait for nicer weather, spring of 2011

Nice gun!!! I wouldn't worry much about the type of ammo you run through it, I think you will be happy with any good Sabot, be it winchester, Remington, federal, etc, I personally like the 2 3/4 I think it is just a little more accurate at longer range, Good luck Doc

I tried both the 2 3/4 and 3 inch Remington Accu Tips. My gun seemed to like the 2 3/4 and actually in my circle of friends, we account for 4 of these...all seemed to prefer the 2 3/4.
We tried the Federal, Hornady and both sizes in Remington's...it seemed that since February, the 2 3/4 were hard to come by...so we ended up getting 4 cases between 3 of us. Course we like to shoot alot at the range.
