Default Shotgun slugs/hunting

I hunt in Ohio where a shotgun is required. In the past I have used 3" Remington Copper Solids. I have had good luck with them but my farthest shot has been about 20 yards! I have heard that down range these may not be the best slugs. I was wondering what you all suggest for a good all around sabot slug for accuracy and dependability.

Also, I read somewhere that when sighting in a slug gun, it is best to do it at 50 yards and 3" high then just check it at 100 yards. The article said that at 100 yards due to the speed etc of the slug, it would be a frustrating task to try to group them well. What is your take on this? I certainly wasnt getting fantasticly tightgroups at 100 but they were certainly acceptable.
