Now if the shot gun had threaded interchangeble choke tube barrel and was a pump gun I would go with that with a rifled choke and rifled slugs.



I use a 20 ga Reminton slugger in 20ga in SE Michigan. Have cane to like it as well as any high calber rifle I use in the UP.

I also own Muzzle loaders and find they are fussy with the amount of powder and projectile used.
Yes a slug gun can be fussy but not nearly so bad.

Sorry should have included more on the slug gun.

It's a Remington 870 with a smooth bore slug barrel and fiber optic sights. I used it for years with a lot of success. I generally shoot Federal TruBall slugs out of it but would probably have to look elsewhere for managed recoil as I don't think Federal makes them in that model.
