what are you shooting slugs?

RE: advice with a 12 gauge
Pattern several different types of slugs using a solid rest. Use the brand the pattern the best. When you shoot try to use a tree or a stick to steady your shot. With open sights I can shoot good at about 80 yards.

RE: advice with a 12 gauge
is your barrel rifled or smooth? and like slayer said the brand makes a difference also.

RE: advice with a 12 gauge
If you're shooting a smoothbore, use an open or rifled choke and try the Brenneke slugs. Max distance is probably going to be around 100 yds.;)

Ditto on what bigbuck00 said. Stay away from sabots in a smoothbore. go with regular rifled slugs. I have a smoothbore Rem 870 express and shoot clover leaf groups at 50 yards using Winchester slugs. something like 5 bucks for a box of 15. I don't expect to shoot further than that where I hunt.
