If you do a Google search for "Dave Henderson Slug Gun" you may find some great info. Dave's a diehard slugger and has put thousands of rounds through all kinds of stock and custom guns. EDIT -- Actually, just buy Dave's book if it's available. I'd forgotten about it and it's a wonderful resource. https://www.amazon.com/Shotgunning-Deer-David-R-Henderson/dp/0883172372

wmd on here is the most knowledgeable slug gun guy I know. He's done a LOT of homework on this subject and knows his stuff. I learned a lot from him.
Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

I bought a Savage 220 20 gauge earlier this year. Would not group worth a damn with any of the rounds I tried. Sent it back with a note. They replaced the barrel and it now shoots 1" groups at 100 yards. You have to shoot the recommended round or it wont ever group. Savage recommends the Remington 3" AccuTip slugs. They say anything else wont group and I agree!! Went through a bunch of ammo to figure this out. Love the gun!

I will see how the recoil is and how it does at the range and then decide what to do.
