why are you shooting rifled slugs out of a rifled barrel? Shouldn't sabot's be used? Just curious. Hope to learn something new

I would like to get a savage 220 shotgun

Odd, so many complaining about using foster slugs in a rifled barrel. Why not??

You really need to do your research before you share the wrong info on the internet. No rifled slugs in a rifled barrel they are rifled to give the effect of rifling in a smooth bore barrel.

WTH would you shoot a rifled slug from a rifled barrel?

Try the 3" Accutips. They are more accurate than the 2 3/4

What scope is that

What scope is that?

Can u shoot rifled slugs in that?

Just sold mine. Had a stainless camo I bought new over a decade ago. Didn’t shoot the greatest till I floated the barrel and bedded it. After the accuracy mods. I could get Remington 3” accutips to all touch at 100 yards pretty consistently. About a 3/4” group. All other saboted ammo at the time was around 1 1/4” to 1 3/4” groups after bedding. I'd tell you to do the same. It will definitely tighten up your groups. I got better groups at 100 than you did at 50 after bedding. Before bedding I was WAY over 2moa...closer to 3

Nice review. Where did you get those target holders ??

what scope are you using?

You are running rifled slugs through a rifled barrel? That is a big no no. Always match your ammo to the gun you are shooting

You are supposed to use sabot slugs in a rifled barrel not rifled slugs those are for smooth bore barrels

This is what you get if you're in a shotgun only area for deer but want to get a bit longer range than a smooth/normal shotgun barrel with rifled foster slugs. The 300gr sabots also shoot very flat at 200 yards. After sighting in at 50 yards the hornady SST 300gr sabot slugs shoot dead on at 200 yard. This will group like that last group all the way out to 200 yards with the right sabot. We got a group with all shots touching/nearly same hole at 175 yards. A deer was taken at 230 yards and that's pretty darn impressive for a shotgun! My neighbor (cop) told me one of his coworkers tookan 8 point at nearly 300 yards with a 260gr sabot slug. Yeah the sabot slugs are best for this. It still does foster slugs ok but it's rifle like accuracy with sabot slugs. brenneke black magic slugs do very nice out of this too. It would have been nice to see grouping with one type of sabot slug instead of switching since they will all shoot slightly differently.

You didn't do any groups. This information is useless

Did he not say rifled barrel? Yikes, shooting rifled slugs and not sabots. 😮

One shot doesn’t determine the ammo the weapon likes need to fire groups

The way Stafford threw his hat

Dude quit calling it a rifle. It’s a bolt action shotgun. It being a bolt action and having a rifled barrel does not make a 20ga a rifle.

Why is he using rifled slugs through a rifled barrel. Rifled barrel is for sabot slugs .

Great review, man. I've been browsing bolt action shotgun videos, and so far, yours has been the best and most informative. 😁

I’ve noticed over the last 20 years or so that you will find all your groups with all your brands will tighten up if you clean the barrel every 3 shots. The plastic fouling in the rifling will cause your groups to open a bit.

That’s what mine likes. Remington ,sub 1 1/2” @100

I shoot the copper impacts through my 500 rifled slug barrel and shoot 1 inch groups at 50 yards. Not cheap, but a devastating round

Do not use rifle slugs in a rifled barrel. Sabots only!!!!

Did the 2 3/4 accutip shells feed and extract fine? People are saying only the 3 inch shells are extracting and feeding

Lightfield sabots are my go to slugs... why did you run a rifled slug through a rifled barrel??

you dont shoot rifled slugs out of a rifled barrel. sabots. you seem like a nice guy, educate yourself before making another video. just sayin.

The hornadys sucked in my 220 , i had best luck with federals an Remington accutips

I thought your only supposed to use sabot slugs in a rifled bore and rifles slugs for a smooth bore

220 and remmy accutips were designed for each other, literally. Still the best bullet for that gun despite being a little lackluster on knockdown. Barnes expanders were the hardest hitter for that gun before they disappeared. Almost as accurate as accutips too.

You keep calling it a rifle. It is a shotgun with a rifled barrel.

Any leads on where to purchase the Remington ones?? 3’ or 2 3/4

Ive grown so tired of not being able to find Accutips so I tried Browning BXS sabots. I first shot a couple of my remaining Accutips. Then, shot the Browning BXS sabots. I cant speak to expansion or speed. But, I can tell you I had the same accuracy results. And the Brownings were about $7 cheaper per box.

What scope are you using? I use a Nikon slug hunter

Federal premium trophy copper 3" 275 grain are pretty damn good too! I tested them back to back with the remington accutip 2 3/4 and grouping was just as nice if not better. I actually prefer federal because scheels in eden prairie has a bunch of them and they're not as expensive, $17.99/5 slugs. So if you need a secondary ammo, give them a shot!

I love my 220, i do not love the price tag of over $5/round though! Tack driver of a slugger!

Accutips are most accurate but do not penetrate as well as other choices. Still adequate but this gun would benefit from a 24" barrel

To bad i seen they recalled all the accutip ammunition. Can't find it anywhere. According to remington they could have the wrong sized slugs in the and could explode the barrels.

I wish someone would make a quality sabot at a fair price. He probably spent close to $50 in ammo on this session.

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE CALL GUNS TOYS!!

Great Video. I bought a new Savage 220 20gauge this summer. I'm doing the same. Same results. I'm using 2 3/4 inch shells. I used sabots from Winchester, Federal & the Rem. AccuTip's. The AccuTips performed the best, they are also recommended for the 220 by Savage. The action on my 220 is stiff. It also has difficulty ejecting the empty cases after firing. I was told to oil the action, bolt, and the bolt slides (inside the receiver); then sit and work the bolt many times. I've been doing this while watching TV and its helping a little. I'm concerned that it doesn't eject spent shells well. Is anybody else having that problem? They tend to just hang in the chamber. I'm going to try tipping the gun to the right before ejecting. That should help. I'm worried that I'll have the problem when I need to get off a fast second shot when hunting. I'm using the same exact targets in your video (Did you get them at Fleet Farm)? The orange bullseye is 2 inches wide. I'm shooting about a 3 inch group at 100 yards. Thats good, but I was hoping for better. I plan to shoot targets at 200 yards next time I'm at the range. Not trying to be a prick, but a guy should measure the bullet group from the center to center of the bullet hole. We know the Orange bullseye is 2". It looks like the 2 bottom holes from the Accutips are just under that - say 1 1/2". This should translate to about 3" at 100 yards. That is about what I'm getting and other guys I know report the same with their 220s. I'm anxious to see what I'm going to get at 200 yards. If its more than 6" I wouldn't feel comfortable shooting at a Whitetail at that range with the 220.

I own this weapon, and many others. I know you are new to shooting, or at least new to accuracy and repeatability. Good video, but you should never take a free-floating barrel and strap it to anything. A good tripod or a sandbag and a couple deep breaths would be better than restricted balance

1 more ? fot you..saw that you strapoed down the gun in front of your scope..any particular reason? I was under the impression, that nothing should be touching the barrel..i shoot from a sled rest too..what will be your final zero at ..100 yrds?

Virtually impossible to find the Remington accu-tip slugs..went with the Hornady SST ..pretty accurate at 100 yards..anyone try reloading slugs ? ..at 15-20bucks a box ,its expensive

Did you try loading the gun one in chamber and two in magazine to see how it cycles?

I purchased a 220 like yours but in stainless. When I took it out of the box and looked it over, I noticed sloppy workmanship in the receiver and returned it and picked up an older model that doesn't have the adjustable stock. I saw one of the newer model 220s with the right hand thumbhole laminated wood stock and, if I didn't already have a 220, would have purchased it because the plastic stock is cheesy. What I noticed about my 220 is that the magazine sucks. I read about problems with the magazine which rattles and is best loaded with one shell, making it a two shot shotgun. The gun is accurate, I have to say. I too started off with cheap foster slugs to get on paper then went to more expensive sabots for the final zero. I have fired Litefields 2&3/4" 7/8 oz lead hollow points, 3" Remington Accutips and 3" Remington copper slugs which, are the most accurate.

Thank you for sharing. Good luck this season and please follow up.

What stand and scope are you using?
