Try the winchester superX slugs (available from wally world), it MIGHT be a wee bit better, but I wouldn't count on it.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004

I've found slug guns to be like rifles: they all seem to have a 'preference' for different makes/models of slugs. You said you use 'Remington' slugs....Remington makes several different models of slugs: buckhammer, foster, copper solids, ect.
I would suggest sticking with foster-type slugs, esp. since you wish to use them in your full choke barrel (however, if it was me, I would use it in the modified....I prefer adjusting elevation rather than windage). Winchester, federal, and Remington all make a foster type slug. In my firearms, Brenneke are consistantly accurate out of all my guns, with Remington a close second (these are slug barrels with rifle sights, mind you). Winchester slugs are accurate out of a couple of my guns, and Federals just don't perform worth crap out of any of my guns! I'd suggest buying a box or two of each and see what they do......kind of expensive, but you'll then have your answer.

I don't mind trying a selection but this is pathetic. I mean, I could live with either but with both shooting to such wildly different poi's it kinda brings me back to my idea of using a slug for one and buckshot for the other.

Hey!.....its a shotgun! It was meant to throw shot, not a solid projectile!


Seriously, I don't know of ANY side by side that will put both slugs to the same POI, or anywhere close to the same POI....if you find such a gun, spirit it away and hide it from all others, for it truly is the holy grail of shotguns!
