Shane, do you have a pic of the bullet itself??? 1:20 should stabilize that slug pretty well. The old buffler guns had a 1:18 and they did fine with 550 grain slugs. Alloy?? Sizing?? I've shot half a trainload of cast slugs from 405/420 up to 545 grains and with smokeless powder sizing is more to be looked at.
