I really like the rifle and how it feels shouldered. and was thinking about using it next yr. but have no clue what to run thru it...Does anyone else have this setup, and know what kind of shells perform best?....TIA...

Barnes 130 or 168 ttsx. But shoot several brands the rifle will tell you what it likes
