590A1 and slugs

[Ed_Hazard]

Why type of load where you shooting in your slugs? Might want vto try some reduced recoil slugs as opposed to hunting loads.

I have 590a1 with AR stock. First time I shot it I hit my target with 3" winchester super x slugs. Target was set up 50 yards away at rifle range. I do confess it hurt my shoulder like a s.o.b. and continued to hurt for a couple of days. I was really surprised about how shocked and hurt after shooting 15 shells consecutively. About a month later I shot more slugs this time aprox. double the amount of shells but virtually no pain. I was not in shock and was actually having fun. I noticed I held and positioned my gun better on my shoulder and had complete confidence in my ability to shoot it effectively. I did practice dry firing it allot so as to not get startled by the blast. Another thing I noticed that my pistol grip does get real loose and have to tighten bolt after about 15 shells of 3". I can sincerely recomend that you should practice the way you hold and position it on yourself and also dryfire a little everyday. btw i was not shooting from a bench, strictly on both feet upright leaning a litte forward.

Anyone have any experience with the reduced recoil slugs?

What do you want to know? Reduced recoil loads (buck and slugs) work great, they just have lower fps over full power loads.

I borrowed a KNOX stock for a g/f who was getting worked by her dad's Remi shooting 00 and slugs (she went with co-workers) her first outing with high base loads.
We went to the range and I coached her to really emphasize holding it tight to her shoulder. She shot a few with the KNOX then ran a mag through my M1 (straight carblite stock) running Fiochi Sabots and 00. She hated that KNOX. She went back with the straight wood stocked 870 and hasn't complained since.
So, be wary of the KNOX "recoil reducer", there are shooters out there that are better off without it.

Just my way of saying keep at it... You'll figure it out.
