Really? I can't get mine to go even that far and stay within an 8 inch circle.

I bought an 870 with a slug barrel because of that.
It is my opinion, and others may have different experiences, that smooth bore guns with rifled slugs are not good anywhere past 50 yards for an "ethical kill shot"..
Anytime I track a deer more than 50 yards, I get a sinking guilty feeling because I didn't kill it quickly enough.
