I wouldn't get too wound up about those results Lyle.  I can keep the
slugs on a paper plate consistently at 100 yards with just a bead on my
old smoothbore throwing Federal slugs.  My father in law has a scope on
his smoothbore, and can easily keep the groups down below 5-6 inches at
100 yards.  In fact, with that gun he had a bit of trouble at a hunting
qualification sesson last year because his hole was so small and tight.
They argued for a bit that he'd missed, when he'd been punching them in
the same hole at 35 yards.  He throws Remington slugs.
