RE: can i use a slug
For you guys that are only getting 35 yards out of a rifled slug have you tried different brands and loads with different chokes to see what works best? That is pretty poor accuracy even for slug shooting.
Using some clamp on adjustable sights help quite a bit as well.
I seem to have decent luck with modified chokes in my guns, so it is worth a try to see how they do if you have screw in chokes.
