I hunt in MD and in SC. MD has a number of counties that are shotgun only like other states mentioned above.

I'm running an 1100 w/ a Hastings Paradox and a Nikon 3x9. Currently shooting Win Supreme Partition Gold. I started w/ Win BRI sabots, then was using Federal Barnes expanders for a while.

Sabots are pricey and they do kick a lot. My dad summed it up well, "That's not a rifle, it's an artillery piece!"

You can get decent accuracy if you a willing to invest in a number of loads to see what your gun prefers.

I shot one at 173 yrds on a dead calm day from prone in an open hay field. This year, I dropped this one at 127 yrds, seated in a ladder stand.
