[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2280207, member: 63925"] The IDS were much lighter slug and they shot ok for me but nothing like the Hammerheads from Rich. One thing you can do easily to improve accuracy for the 870 is swap out trigger springs with Timney springs to get trigger down to 3lb or less. Midway has them on sale. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.midwayusa.com/product/100532364/[/URL] The best load that I have found is using Alliant Pro Reach. [B][U]THIS LOAD IS SAFE IN MY SHOTGUN. Use standard safe reloading practices to work up a load in your firearm.[/U][/B] I use 35.0 grains of Pro Reach which is a standard load from Alliant for 1 1/8 oz steel shot load. This is in 2.75" Ultra high brass hull from BPI. This is for the 1 1/8 oz slug from Slugsrus. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/powderlist.aspx?page=/reloaders/powderlist.aspx&type=2&powderid=27&gauge=12[/URL] Recommend you check their data as well. Thus has been legit <2" at 100 yds load. If you haven't shot a lot of slugs off bench or cross sticks, slight pull down pressure on forearm will give better mire consistent groups. [/QUOTE]
