The other day I went to the range for a little fun shooting time with my scatterguns. Now, I brought two of my trusty guns (an 870 and M3) and a bunch of slugs. Now, these guns have previously proven to be very accurate with these slugs which are the KO brennekes, and the federal 2 3/4" rifled magnums.
The KOs I brought were 5 boxes of a new batch I bought at Dicks. I noticed that they changed the design of the box. I didn't think much of it, that was until I shot them!
Now, typically my shotguns have been spot on with slugs and buckshot. They have been very accurate with the KOs in the past, however.....first shots at 50 yards, I went to examine my target...
What do I find? my shots were 1 foot to the left, and about 6 inches high!!!
***?
Same story with both of my guns. They had loved the KOs before, why were they shooting so poorly now?
At 25 yards the slugs were shooting 6 inches to the left and 3 inches low!
The federal slugs, which were from the same lot that I had been using before, also shot differently and not nearly on taget.
I shot some buckshot and found it to be on target as usual......
What is going on? Could brenneke have changed the formula of their KO slugs or what? Why would both my shotguns shoot KO slugs so differently when they had shot point of aim before? I want to fix my shotguns so they shoot point of aim with both buck and slugs again!
