    Default Savage bolt action 220F 20G shotgun 2 3/4" or 3"?

    Anyone got any preferences for the best Savage bolt action 220F 20 gauge shell size, 2 3/4" or 3"?

    I get my best groups from 3" Remington Accutips. I tried the 2 3/4" but got a large 5" vertical spread at 100 yards with them. Not so with the 3 inch shells.

    I find the 3 inch a bit more accurate too but pretty much impossible to find (have been looking a year now and I'm down to last 4) I was actually thinking of re-sighting with 2 3/4 due to lack of availability.

    Fishing world in Hamilton had them last fall, not sure if they have them now though.

    They sold out early last year and remington hasn't shipped any since and no one seems to know why. Checked Fishing World, Sail, Lebarons, and Bass Pro off and on up to shotgun season with no luck.

    Someone from sail indicated remington may be longer selling the 3 inch just 2 and 3/4.

    3“ was better for me in my 220 but as others have said they are next to impossible to find....I am down to 14 accutips in 3“ and getting worried. Friends in the USA are saying that the Rem AT's are as hard to find as well...only 2.75 seem available.

    After am exhausting search for 3" 20 ga accutips, I think I now own the last 20 boxes that were in Ontario. Savage actually recommends that shell for the gun and yes, they are very difficult to find. I contacted over 20 ammo dealers to find.

    The 3" accutips are best for my 220f and I have tried a lot of different slugs. I found the 2 3/4 had a significantly larger group size.
