[QUOTE="esorensen, post: 194224, member: 4302"] I have run into the same problems as you. I have a Mossberg 835. Good job on the cantilevered barrel. The barrel/reciever lockup on a shotgun is iffy at best. The scope or sights on the barrel itself will end up being more consistent in my opinion. The twist rate has a lot to do with it. You might want to try a lighter slug or a faster twist barrel. I shot only two shots at a time as it seemed as everything heated up the group opened up. I no longer subscribe to the train of thought of trans-sonic turbulence. Appropriate rotational speed throught flight should keep the projectile on consistant path regadless of mach. IMO. Shooting lots of slugs is truly tough on the shoulder and the wallet! I ended up using Fedral /Barnes combo. Not impressive in the speed department, but 2" or less at 100. [/QUOTE]
