switched to the Remington all copper slugs. I shot 2 thru the same hole at about 30 yards. Then moved the target back to roughly 75 yards and hit right next to the 2 previous holes. That was probably my most expensive zeroing in session in my life ever. lol

I settled on the Remington all copper as well. They were more consistent than the other two rounds I used. That short barrel will breath some fire won't it?

Congrats! Those guns with a bipod are the bomb from the bench & even in the field, you can just set it down in the dirt. The short oal & balance make carrying the extra wt, not "as bad" as you might think. I just got my 2 barrel set (223/243) Varmintmaster back from consignment at GUNRIGHT gun shop on SHD that went belly up a few days later. I like the H&R so much I am tempted to keep it and possibly sell the Uber fine Remington 40x, Kinda like selling a M Benz and keeping a pinto, but once they heat up they shoot awful similar. Polar opposites of the price spectrum I really like the break open design of the H&R better than the single shot bolt. Just when you are trying to downsize, all kinda deals come up.

I know. Been getting rid of some stuff I don't use here lately. Had a deal worked out to make a trade for a nice Mathews bow, but the guy flaked on me. Go figure.

This gun kicks like a mule, but honestly not too bad. The weight really absorbs a lot of it. Don't know how much I will use it. Butt you know I gotta try it out and see the carnage

Or add an extra bull bbl in about any caliber you can name, installed for 130$. It'd make a fine gun for Jr. There are U-tube videos on how to improve the trigger. For the $ NOTHING comes close IMO. If you think the single shot will slow you down, think again. I found I shot A LOT more rounds from the bench with the single shot than any other action, because it was so much more enjoyable/ stable & accurate.

You can but it might not pattern well. Don't make a regular thing and you'll never know the difference as far as the rifling goes.
