I've got a Mossberg 500 pump with a 20" barrel. I'm going to try a variety of rifled slugs to see which patterns best. Although I know my range will be limited without a rifled barrel, I was wondering if anyone has a Mossberg 500 and has had good experience with a particular rifled slug.

Yea I do and them new winchester partion gold slugs do a awesome job.but they are expensive.

I have not shot a lot of different types, but I have always had great succes with the Remington Coppersolid Sabot slugs. They group very well for me, and I also owned the same Mossberg 500 at one time, which is what I was shooting them out of.

i use winchester slugs. group well and knock 'em down good.

Do just what you said and try different ones. I've got a 500 with a smooth bore slug barrel and you will be suprised at the range it's accurate to. I've been using standard 3" remington sluggers. I'm going to do some testing this summer with different ones though, going to try the Activ slugs, I've seen some pretty good things with them.

I tried both the rem. sluggers and winchester
slugs at the range this year with my 500 and found Winchester did group a little better.

I have a cylinder bore (it's really a tactical "blow holes in your home-intruder" gun). Do you think this lack of any choke would affect my range?
And although I am going to experiment at different distances, what kind of range do you think I could expect, assuming I don't like any groups over 6".

Keep 'em all in the Bull.

i've got a 500 with a 24" smoothbore slug barrel, and I get great results with winchester 2 3/4" slugs

I have only used them a couple times and always used winchester slugs .
