My best slug gun is my mossberg 500 with a 24 inch smooth bore w/ rifle sights barrel, at 50 yards with 2 3/4 inch winchester super-x 1 oz rifled slugs it keeps 5 shots inside of a skoal can. I can't complain plenty accurate for the dense wooded area I hunted in central missouri. Funny thing is I never took it hunting for some odd reason I always grabbed my 308 instead LOL . someday I'll whack a deer with that gun.
