I have a Benelli 3 1/2" Mag. 12 gauge shotgun and was wondering what you guys think would be a good SLUG for hunting black bear?
Thank you.

Well first off is your benelli barrel rifled or a smooth bore?

Brenneke KO slug. Hands down the best I have ever used. Will work in either a smooth or rifled barel.

When I used a smooth bore on my SuperNova I had good accuracy with the plain jane Rem Sluggers 1oz.
After I put on a rifled barrel and experimenting with diffrent sabots, the Rem Accutips came out best for me.

Most likely your gun can handle any size from 2 3/4" up to 3 1/2".If so I would try a bunch of 2 3/4" slugs and see which shoots best.All you'll really gain with the bigger slug shells is recoil.

Same here on the Remington Sluggers and they have great knockdown unlike alot of the sabot slugs ,

It's a smooth bore. Thanks for all your suggestions, I appreciate it.

Federal Truball rifled slug. They seem to be the most accurate out of sooth bore barrels of Improved Cylinder. Federal even makes a truball slug thats made of a harder lead alloy for dangerous games.

I also opt for the Federal TruBall and cylinder choke if you have a smoothbore. I've tried just about every slug (sans saboted) out of my smoothbore 870 and the Truballs were by far the most accurate.

since you have a smoothbore, stay with a froster type slug, Remington, Winchester, and Federal makes them
