Grab a couple of boxes of different slugs and see which perform best.
However, this combo will not have the effective range of a rifle by a long shot. Not sure "power and reliabilty" are any less in a rifle either, but if that's your take, so be it.
Yeah I am looking more into rifled to get the extra distance. But ill check my local pawns and see what comes up.
