Ive put different loads threw it,but i think only one brand of slugs.I didn't know different brands of slugs can affect shot placement,im new too SG's.

I havent talked to Mossberg directly,but did search their site and the whole web actually for different heights on the fiber optic insert,with no luck or hint of one even being made.My guns sights are a copy of the 930spx so if you see fiber sight inserts for those they will work in mine.

Im sure i could use lower velocity ammo,but whats the fun in that? lol
Its almost like i try and torture my shoulder with this new toy

But yeh im gonna try Mossberg directly now and if nothing can be done ill just aim a bit lower at 50'.
Now that i think back i remember the full body silhouette targets even lead bird shot and buckshot were hitting shoulders and neck while i was aiming CM shots.
But in a true life situation i doubt ill EVER be making 50' shots while doing HD.
More like 7' and i think that will be only 1" high with 3" 00buck i doubt that 1" is gonna make any differance.
