Any Slug Gun Hunters Here?

I've got a gun hunt in Illinois next month and recently purchased a 20GA handi-rifle.
I'm shooting a 275 grain Hornady SST that is supposed to be zeroed at 150 yards.
I shot today a while again and can't get it to pattern worth a shite. The gun is slinging the $2.50 slugs every damn where. Anyone else have any tips here?

Try a different brand. Slug guns are very very picky as to what they shoot well

I've always heard Lightfield 3“ slugs work best in the H&R guns.

Try remington accutips 260gr
They shoot great out of mine.

Agree with all the others. I've hunted Wisconsin since 1997. Although we do rifles now, we did slug guns for a very long time. Just depends on what your gun likes. I always had great results with Winchester Partition Golds. Good luck.

Rifling combo? Plus you gotta keep $pending til you find your gun's favorite.

Not anymore since I value my shoulder.
My 12ga. Winchester 1300 shot the best in this order:
Partition gold 2.75
Win XP3 3.00
Accutip 2.75
Federal Copper HP 2.75
However, the partitions have a lot of penetration.

I have the same gun. It did the same thing with 5 or 6 kinds of ammo. Gun smith talked me into putting a leaupold scope on it. It now shoots all of those same brands accurately.
