I used it to knock down steel "pepper poppers" at 100 yards to show off. I have heard they don't shoot flitecontrol well though, but that is just what I've been told.

Not hating on Vang Comp but have you ever compared those results with a barrel that has been back-bored to .742? Any competent 'smith should be able to do it for much less. Really increases pattern density on all loads.

Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
