New 220. The good, the bad, and the ugly...

[rjtfroggy]

I changed out my stock to a Boyd's, it took some fitting and some time but it is doable. Before the stock replacement it was a 2"+ @ 100 gun off my BR set up, after the change, about 1-1 1/8 @ 75 with either Federal true ball or Lightfeild sabots both 2 3/4". I am using a Redfeild 2-7 Revolution and to be honest I don't care for the reticle but for this year it will have to do, next year I'll swap my SS 6x to it and be done with it.
I did try some Remington copper solids last year and they grouped right at 1" @ 100 but at just over $1 a shot I decided to find something else that works for deer hunting.

That's why I don't slug hunt anymore - too darned expensive! Sold both my slug guns and now just hunt the slug season with my muzzleloader. I have to admit though, Savage offering the 220 in LH did making it very tempting, but if I got another slug gun it would probably be an auto-loader so I could switch barrels and get more use out of it than just one week a year.
