I will say that i have been shooting Hornady sst's out of my H&R rifled barrel 12 ga and getting 1-2" groupings at 100 yds consistently. I was looking for the managed recoil copper solids, as the sst's kick like a mule, but no one seems to carry the managed recoil sabots I bought 2 boxes of accutips (and yes, they were on sale 15% off at dick's costing 12$ a box). The stopping power for the accutips seems to be higher at 200 yds, around 1100 lb/sq in, and the muzzle speed is 150 fps less than the hornady's which should translate to lower recoil. I am putting these slugs to the test tomorrow. in the mean time, I believe the accutips are 3.6 in high at 100 yds and 0.0 at 150 but drop 9.1 at 200.. i don't see making 300 yd shots with any level of confidence.. but i could be wrong.

I have had good luck out to 200 yds but I hold just above the spine on deer sized game at that distance. with a better scope I could go farther.

Took it out to 100yds. with same results. Without changing settings on scope fired 2 rounds of Hornady SST 20 gauge and grouped @ 1" to 1 1/2". I had heard they were accurate with talking to other people who were using them. They look like a rifle bullet ! ! ! Hello The question is which Sabot of the two have the best knock down power at that range. With the H&R Slug gun and Leupold Ultimate Slam scope you only get one shot. Could use both without changing settings. Feedback is appreciated thanks. Scorpio48 I was very impressed with the Remington Accu tips they grouped at 1″ to 3″ after sighting in.
