savage 220F

[Gordie]

My buddy bought one and loves it but hes wondering if he can shoot 2 3/4 or 3 inch slugs out of it the barrel says 3 inch shells but it doesn't say 3 inch only .

The books says it can shoot both but then on another part of the book it say shoot only what the barrel says. hes kinda confused on this .

So I thought I would ask you guys back here

[Archerysniper]

Most barrels are stamped 3" or shorter. The best would be a call to the factory.

[harvey lee]

I would say yes. Let us know what the factory says.

Ny Remington 1100 says 3" only but I have used the 2-3/4 shells with no issues I am aware of.

Have one yes it will do both...

This what I found and if I purchase a shot gun for deer hnting I will be looking at this one for sure

Certainly, all guns are individuals, but Savage R & D has done enough extensive testing with this rifle to be able to offer up some solid suggestions. In fact, the hang-tag on the 220F’s Accutrigger suggests three loads: the Federal Premium Barnes Tipped three inch 1900 fps round, #PT209XT1 or either of the pair of Remington AccuTip offerings: the PRA20 1850 fps 2-3/4 inch or the PRA20M 3 inch 1900 fps loads. The Federal / Barnes load is 5/8 oz. (273 grains) while the Remington loads are listed at 260 grains
