Those were the ones I was hoping would shoot well in my rifled 20ga SX3 but they would not. I used them in my old 870 12ga and they performed better on deer than the accutips.Quote:

Do the Accutips shoot good out of the SX3 though?Quote:

Yes the accutips shot great, made a smiley face with each slug touching at 75yds. I think the others I tried were barnes expanders, hornady sst, and win partition gold and none of them gave me anything that looked like a grouping at all. Spent 2 days sighting in a scope. Had to quit the first day, I was getting worked up,had me thinking it was the gun or the scope. The accutips were the last ones I tried, should have tried them first. lolQuote:
