Default RE: Smoothbore shotgun slug accuracy?

Taz as I said b4 its not impossible only highly unlikely...and its not a challenge as much as I would like to see it done.

Myself and many friends have been slug gun hunting in Ohio for 20 years and I have NEVER seen a smoothbore slug gun shoot 3 shot groups at 100 yards where all the bullet holes touch. 3" groups at 100 yards is not common at all...atleast not consistent. I dont wanna talk about that one time way back when...when someone shot a 3 shot group that touched. I wanna see someone shoot 10 or 15 shots in a row into a 3" circle becuz only if you can do that would I consider it a 100 yard gun under hunting situations.

and mainly I was just trying to answer Bulzeye's original question of what could be expected...and for the vast majority of smoothbores that would be 50-75 yards.

** I almost got him but I refuse to take a marginal shot **
