I am a big fan of the winchester super-X slugs. I shoot them in my Ithaca deerslayer, my Remington 1100, and my scoped Winchester 120, and get great groups from each gun. I can consitently get 3" groups of 3 with the winchester at 100 yds. As far as open sights, my Ithaca will almost always get me 5" or less at 100 yds. These slugs are plenty deadly at 100 yards, but that is prettymuch my distancelimit. I have never had good luck with sluggers other than in a 20 gauge 1100 with a skeet barrel. Maybe they work a little better with the tighter constriction? I used to use federals, but had some feeding issues with their shells, and have never gone back. The winchester Super-X have just given me better shot to shot consistency. By all means though, try them all if you can.All that said, I don't like shooting any further than 50 yds with open sights, and youshould haveless than 4" groups at that range.
