Just bought a 220 this year, but aren’t most, if not all, shotgun slugs sabot rounds? If so, the actual copper bullet is encased in a plastic sabot as the bullet travels down the barrel. So, copper should not be an issue in the barrel, but rather you would need something to dissolve the plastic that gets deposited within the barrel from the sabot.
@@JDye-youtube copper is still deposited in the barrel over time. You’ll notice green on the patches when you clean with a solvent, that is the copper being dissolved. The sabot significantly reduces that but does not eliminate it.
Thanks for the reply. I've watched a lot of TH-cam videos on this gun and federal trophy copper and the remington accutip are the ones everyone's recommending. I have one just like yours and trying to decide what scope to use. What scope do you have?
@@johnnyrodgers2460 federal trophy copper 2-3/4”. I have taken 6 deer with them out to 170yds and watched all of them expire except one. I highly recommend although every barrel is a little unique.
