Default smoothbore slug range for whitetails

k, please dont flame me. i tried the search function, but i got nothing back, not even with just the term 'range'. so while i am waiting for someone to come out with a decent rifled slug barrel w/ sights for my browning gold, i will be hunting this year with my 12ga b-2000 and my fathers smoothbore slug barrel (which he has never shot). its got fully adjustable rifled sights. i dont know anyone who shoots a smoothbore so i have no idea on what kind of groups to expect. so could any of you tell me what the effective range is for a smooth bore, what group size to expect at a given say 50 yards or so, and what kind of slugs to shoot? i plan on shooting remington sluggers, but if there are better ones i'd like to hear. not to be cocky, but am a pretty good shot, so i think the hardware will determine my maximum range. also, i was a member here a while ack, but since i graduated college they shut down my email so i cant get my old password back for my username. thanks in advance.

ps. american barrel company makes a rifled slug barrel with sights for browning gold, but its made for 3.5" chamber. they dont even really make 3.5" slugs....i guess browning must have just sold more 3.5" guns than 3"

maybe a mod might want to move this to deer hunting if it needs to go there...i was not sure as of where to put this
