I shoot Rem. Sluggers 2 3/4" out of my Mossberg 535 28" smoothbore, shot a deer last year @ 95 yds. Just remember with a bead, beyond 75 yds you are covering up most of the deer. As stated pick up a box of each load i.e. win,rem, federal see which one shoots best out of your shotgun, then practice,practice,practice and practice some more at different ranges. Good Luck

Kick the smoothbore to the curb and buy a Hastings. You wont regret it.

i def agree. i bought my hastings barrel for my 12 gauge 870 and wont look back. i threw on a nikon monarch 3x9 and increased my range to 200 shooting 3in winchester partition golds. itll stay as my slug gun until i get that savage 220f.

Smooth bore like maybe 100.
