    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.

    As a cast bullet fan, one could hope they might drop Marlin's micro-grooving and go back to regular rifling. Cast conical bullets pass down that micro-grooving like they are being shot through a smooth bore.

    Do the Accutips shoot good out of the SX3 though?

    As a cast bullet fan, one might hope they drop Marlin’s micro-grooving and go back to regular rifling. Conical cast bullets pass down that micro-grooving like they are being shot through a smooth bore.

    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. lol

    The AccuTip is the preferred choice for my Savage 20 gauge. Expensive but gets the job done.
