I also forgot to add where I hunt we never get far shoots max shoot is like 80 yards but the normal shoot is 50 yards and under so we also get alot of 25 yard shoots with guns I know it's crazy but we hunt very thick woods no field hunting.

savage btw recommends 2 specific loads for that gun, or they tested best.

both the 3" Remington and federal.

best of luck.

I have been all over Quantico as a child. You have some areas even in the woods after the leaves fall where you can get a 200 yard shot easily from one hill to another. That's besides the point, your 220 is probably one of the best slug guns I have ever shot and have been thinking of selling off my 870 just to get one.
