I finally got to sight-in my new unfired 20 ga. 11-87 rifled deer gun Sunday afternoon. By the way I had "NO" shell ejection issues that some of you have mentioned in previous posts about new out of the box 11-87's.
The Lightfields shot consistent 1" & under 3-shot groups all the way out to 100 yards. Having never shot Lightfields before I was quite impressed with the trajectory & consistency.
Shot a "total" of 20 rounds from "getting on paper" to "sighted-in".

They perform like a Foster slug when you hit the shoulder of a deer. The ones I have shot, just buckled in their tracks. The thing I have found out though is if you have any older shells you have handled, the brass will get a slight corrosion where your fingers touch them. I had those ejection problems too and figured it out. Just check them, and if need be hit them lightly with sandpaper. Check them before season. Good Luck |

Great chico ;D ;D ;D! My shooting bench & "Lead-Sled" sure does take the abuse out of sighting-in a long gun.

Sounds as if that gun and shell were made for each other. What sighting system are you using?

The Lightfields are extremely accurate in most guns.They have a expanding base/skirt design that makes up for barrel manufactures tolerance differences.There is not a better slug on the market.

I have heard a lot of positive things about them from others as well. I use the 2 3/4." They currently hold my personal long distance slug record, 125 yards. |
