Default Slug accuracy results

A short time ago I posted a question regarding a fully rifled slug barrel veresus a rifled choke tube. I had many responses and decided to purchase a new barrel. I found a used Hasting's cantilever barrel for $100 and boufht it. I assembled the gun a Remington 870 Super Mag camo and mounted a Nikon Monarch UCC 3-9X40 scope. I went to the local shop and bought the only sabot slugs they carried. They were the Winchester 2-3/4" BRI slugs. Once I fired at 25 to get on paper I moved the target to 50 and fired a 3 shot group. At 50 my group for 3 shots was 1-1/4". I was pleased to say the least. I moved my zero to 2.25" high at 50 and then moved the target to 100. I fired another 3 shot group and center to center my group was 2-9/16" and the group was about 3/8" under the bullseye so I definitely think I have my deer load for this gun out to 125 yards. So once again I would like to thank everyone kind enough to give me some advice to get me started. By the time I got to 125 yards I only had two slugs left and when I fired they were a little under 3" low at 125 and about 2-7/8" apart. So I believe I can take a deer at 125 yards with this setup. Once again thanks for all of the help!!!

Try the Remington Core Lokt Ultra's. They have an extremely flat trajectory, and should shoot well with that rig.
