it depends greatly on what rifled barrel your 870 has, on mine is a hastings (1:34 twist) it likes the slower velocity(under 1700 fps) attached sabot slugs the best such as the 3" buckhammers, brenneke golds, and hastings slugs. the rem barrels(1:28 tiwst) seem to like the faster smaller sabots like the partition golds and the SST's with a red dot on my cantilever barrel, from a rest i can shoot a 3 shot clover leaf @ 50 yards, and 2-3" group @ 100 yards

ReDoT, I didn't know they were different twist rates.
Good to know when pointing someone in the rifled barrel direction.

I shoot a factory 870 fully rifled barrel with open/rifle sights and shoot 2 3/4" remington copper solid sabots the best. You're just abusing yourself by shooting 3".
