I bought a used Mossberg 695 back in the fall, and finally got it to the range.
Seems Remington Copper Solids are the front runner for accuracy, which is fine. I shot some Lightfields, and HOLY COW do they kick! I shot the 3", 1 1/4oz slugs, and I've never experienced recoil like that. I've shot M1903 Springfields and M1 Garands for long afternoons, shooting over a hundred rounds at a session, and had no issues. 5 Lightfields were all I could take!
Anyway, I noticed that some of the slugs had very hard bolt lift after firing. Anyone else having this issue with a Mossberg 695? I was shooting Copper Solids, Lightfield Hybrid EXP's, and Hornady SST's (and the Hornady slugs were not impressive in accuracy, either).
