Winchester 120 with 28” smoothbore using a Carlson’s fully rifled choke. Currently have a inexpensive tasco scope using a b square saddle mount.
Question is: 1. What is a reasonable effective range and grouping to expect from this setup? I’m currently on paper at 50 yards with win super x rifled slugs (4 inch group). The lightfield exps have been a little inconsistent, but I felt like things were getting dialed in at 50, but had to cut range time short before I felt comfortable with the accuracy.
2. Am I wrong thinking these expensive sabots are effective in a smoothbore with rifled choke? They were my go to when I had a rifled barrel.
Any suggestions on choke I should try? I’ve got an improved cylinder. Read somewhere that people have good results with rifled slugs and IC. Gonna shoot it some more with rifled choke and try it with the IC for comparison.
Tried the Remington sluggers with not much luck. I’ll check the hornadys if I can find some. I’ve noticed the slug selection in stores is somewhat limited.
