[QUOTE="sadstory, post: 1008228, member: 41712"] I posted this in another thread, but more a-propos here... New to the NorthEast, live in slug only country, just picked up my Savage 220.. Just punching paper so far with Remington 2 3/4 Accu-Tips (I heard the 3" aren't were no longer sold?) Shooting Sub MOA @ 100yds if you take out the flyers. By flyers I mean 1 in 4 or 5 are clocking a significant lower MV closer to 1,300 compared to the 1,500/1,550 ... those lower velocity are dropping correspondingly @ 100yds and 150yds (per ballistics calcs) Using MV and speed @ target(s), I am getting a BC of ~2. I'd be curious to know if: 1) anyone else is experiencing the relatively high frequency of these lower speeds; 2) if any one else had tried to figure out the BC from field data; 3) if one can re-load slug ammo(@ $20 for a box of 5 it might be worth the effort) <-- any resources to this would be great.
