Remington 870 at the range
Went to the range today and shot today (in the wind). I had 4 different slugs to try out of the my new 870 w/ heavy hastings barrel.
I'll take this out of a slug shotgun any day.
100 yard three shot groups. 2 slugs grouped very well 2 were just terrible. All were 2.75" slugs.
Winchester Supreme-Partition Gold
Federal - Barnes Expander Tip
Winchester Supreme - Platinum Tip
Remington Copper Solid
Now for the question. Does anyone have any experience hitting whitetails with either the Winchester Supreme-Partition Gold or the Federal - Barnes Expander Tip?

Thanks for posting, this shows that 1 gun performs differently with different ammo. Also, good shooting, I would not be depressed at all with some of those groups. I think it would be safe to say that you have found the ammo you will be hunting with....GOOD SHOOTING and thanks for posting.
