Rem. 870 Slug Guns:
I got a model 870 Wingmaster with a Hastings fully rifled barrel, I have some Hornady 300 gr. SST sabot slugs and wanted to get some other slugs before going out to the range to zero it in, etc. I am told that each barrel shoots different slugs better than others? Any experience on this particular set up as to what slug rounds will shoot the best, group. etc. Thanks.

I have 2 Remingtons setup the same way but with scopes on them and the SST's and Buck Hammers are the best I have found for them so far. The Hastings barrels are built arounnd the BRI Sabots but mine wont shoot them worth a crap. Im taking the SST's out to 200yds without a problem. Sight the SST's in at 2 1/2" high @ 100yds and your good to go out to 200yds.
