I have a Savage 220 bolt action "shotgun". It's very fussy about which ammo it likes. With ammo it likes, it will shoot very well. I have yet to shoot it at game, in spite of trying. My friend who does a great deal more hunting than I do says it is good to 200 yards. You will have to try various brands and find out which one your barrel likes. By the way, recoil is light shooting 2-3/4 inch ammo in my Savage.
