Trophy Copper Sabot Slug 20 Gauge 275 Grain

just bought a 20 gauge with several boxes of ammo,these were the best shooting and grouping out of all ammo tried ,have not used on game yet but with that grouping very confident when i do will be no problem

This afternoon I sighted in on 5 rounds of 3" 20 gauge Federal Premium Trophy Copper P209 TC, which is replacing Federal's P209XT1 Barnes Tip I used previously. Since the Trophy Copper is similar to the Barnes Tip, I expected similar results from the Savage 220F. Point of impact changed, so I did adjust the scope but not much. My 5 shot opinion is the Trophy Copper P209 TC is more consistent. At 80 yards the first and second shot shared the same hole - I walked to the target to make sure I hadn't missed completely. After adjusting the scope to a new POI, the next three shots were nicely patterned at 3" hight at 80 yards. Again only a 5 shot opinion, the Trophy Copper P209 TC shot similarly from a clean barrel, fouled barrel, and warm barrel. My previous experience with the Savage 220F was the the P209XT1 Barnes Tip shot differently as barrel conditions changed. Problem solved. The Trophy Copper P209 TC shot consistently and predictably without having to stop and clean.

My first sighting in session with my Ithaca Deerslayer 3 put five shots in 1.1 inches at 100 yards. I bought three types of Remington slugs (two were accutip), Hornadys, and Winchesters. None performed even close to these Federal Trophy Coppers.

I bought this product because I was told that the Barnes Tipped product is no longer available. I was extremely disappointed when I shot this product; my groups were over 5” at 100 yds, and far larger than the 2” groups that I have come to expect with the Barnes tipped product.
