Question on Shotgun with rifled choke
I' m from MI and grew up in northern lower MI. I have a rifle I always used up there, but now, living in southwest MI, I can only use a shotgun.
I have an 870 express super magnum. I didn' t have money for a rifled barrel, so I bought a rifled choke tube.
A couple of questions:
What do you recommend I shoot through it? What brand/type slug, and 2 3/4" or 3" ?
I heard the 3" are less accurate? They start to tumble after a certain distance?
Is the 2 3/4" just as good as the 3" ?
How long of a shot would I be able to take?
Thanks very much in advance for your oppinions.

btw, I was up in Houghton Lake for opening weekend and hardly saw anything. Two does and a button buck. The week prior, my dad (who set up the blinds for us) said he saw two spikes, a four, a six, and a big 8. Who knows where they went, because between 3 of us we only saw the button buck. Oh well.
