I am looking for slugs that will print fairly close to POA out to 75 yards, so I went to the range on Good Friday and shot a whole bunch of slugs.
All of the slugs I shot struck the right side of an IPSC target. The heavier the slug was, the farther to the right the slug hit. Federal 1 oz slugs centered about 4" to the right of the target centerline and Brenneke 1 3/8 slugs were mostly off the paper. Buckshot and birdshot pattern right over the top of the bead at 40 yards.
I am shooting an 11-87 with a 20" barrel with either a improved cylinder or a modified choke. Is this due to recoil? Do I need to square up to the target more or less?
