Just got a Beretta A391 Xtrema2 Slug gun.
« on: November 01, 2006, 11:31:50 AM »
I have been going to range trying different slugs in the Beretta A391 Xtrema2 12 gauge. I have shot Remington copper solids, Hornady SST's, Federal 's with Barnes expanders and Lightfields. The only ones I could get to group well were the Lightfields. My groups with the Remington solid copper's gave me 3 inch groups at 100 yards, the Hornady SST's were the worst at 9 inch groups and the Federals were in the 3 inch range also at 100 yards. With the Lightfields I am getting 1 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards. I was shooting off sand bags with a Leupold VXII 2X7X33mm.

The set up is deadly accurate for a slug gun. I bought a case of Lightfields so I would have the same lot number for several years. I shot two boxes of the same lot and the point of impact did not change and the groups stayed the same. I am very pleased with the results of my shooting and the performance and the accuracy of the Beretta.  Boy did I spend a bunch shooting to find the right combination, but well worth it.  ;D

I don't have any pic's right now, and if did, I have never taken the time to learn how to post them.

The recoil is not that bad, but after about 5 shots, it gets noticeable. I put 85 rounds through it already to find the right slug to use. Let me tell you, it is more expensive than any of my other guns to shoot, I don't reload slugs. Any where between $9.50 to $13.95 for 5 slugs.  :o

I have heard several different reports, but I think the bucks are in the chasing mode. The full rut should be in right about the start of the shotgun season.  The doe's are just about to go into estrus and the bucks can since it already.

Flatshooter, good luck to you also. We have a nice 14 point running our area, hope we see him on opening day.  ;D
