Does it matter if I'm shooting 2-3/4" slugs or 3" slugs out of the H&R 20ga? I'm ready to start trying out some slugs to see what shoots best out of my gun, but some slugs (ie. Winchester Supreme Partition Gold Slugs) are sold in both 2-3/4" and 3" lengths and others are sold only in 2-3/4" or 3" lengths. __________________ Dog's on point... get ready!!!

Every firearm is different..Gotta go spend some cash and range time.
My 20g H&R likes the Barnes Expanders and the Remington Core Loks. Sighted in for 100yards. Have shot both rounds out to 200(range). Right now the Core Loks are my pick. __________________ |

Lightfields are damm accurate out to 100 yards. But past 100 yards they really drop because of the attached wad. __________________ "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote" - Benjamin Franklin

| After several hours and hundreds of dollars in ammunition I am having the best luck with the Hornady SST’s out of my 12 Gauge Ultra Slug Hunter. The lightfields, and buckhammers are ok. I could hunt with them, but the SST’s are grouping better. I can’t seem to get the Barnes Expanders to group much at all. I’m surprised because several people that I know have had really nice groups with the expanders out of the same set up I am shooting. The Barnes expander tipped slugs were the worst of all. I also shot the federal fusions which weren’t very good either. | ||

Try the Hastings slugs. I have a post on here somewhere from last year with pics. Three shots in the same hole at 100 yards
