I have a gun set up for slugs with a scope and a rifled barrel and I didn't even use it this year. I was trying to get it zeroed and got sick of spending the $12 on slugs. It acurate and has great knock down power, but it comes with it's downsides. Yesterday I killed two does during the last day of our gun season with my Browning Gold with winchester magnum rifled slugs. I don't think they do as well as sabots and a rifled barrel, but dead is dead.
