Guys,
Been doing some slug shooting with my 870 to see how far out I can hit targets with slugs and get some idea on the accuracy end of it.
My 870 has a Cylinder bore and I seem to get erratic results past the 30 yard area. (18 inch barrel) I have had predictable results at the 20 yard distance.
Now, my 1187 has an Improved Cylinder bore and with slugs I can easily hit predictably at 50 yards and beyond.
The slugs I use for all this is the Federal Tactical Slugs ( reduced recoil).
Is this type of thing normal when comparing Cylinder bores and Improved Cylinder bores? If it is then I can be assured to use slugs in my Cylinder bore SGs ONLY when the target is +/- 25 yds distant or closer.
Let me know some of your opinions based on experience,
thanks,
john l
