OK guys my brother has shot around the idea of tree rat hunting and maybe deer hunting with me he said something about getting a shotgun.
I told him since i was buying a muzzle loader he could use mine and if he wanted he could go buy a rifled barrel because they are more accurate and he couldget out a little farther.
I looked the barrels are near the cost of a new Mossberg rifledslug gun.

If he went and bought a rifled slug gun could he shoot #7 bird shot or maybe 6 for tree rats and maybe a rabbit or two. What effect will the rifling have on the shot and the shot have on the barrel
