It has a smooth barrel so does that mean shoot rifled slugs?????

RE: what slugs work best for you?????????
 

Yes, rifled slugs are what you want. You may have good luck with "hybrid" slugs as well. Brenneke and Lightfield make those, they work in smoothbores too. Remington's buckhammer may work for you.

Just try some until you find one that gives you the accuracy you need for the ranges you expect to shoot.

Don't use sabot slugs.

brenneke rottwiles is what i use, and they do some damage!

I shoot Winchester Super-X 2¾" HP rifled slugs out of my 870 Wingmaster with an improved cylinder choke. I can hit a pie plate out to 75 yards offhand, although they do drop pretty quickly farther out.

if he is shooting a smooth barrel i dont think he should shoot rifled slugs should he? i thought you should shoot those the a rifled barrel. i shoot a smooth barrel and shoot WOLF slugs, best i ever used.

you really need to try a bunch of differant slugs to see what works best for you I've got a Mossberg 500 and the cheap Winchesters are what shoots the best for me smooth bore and $2 a box slugs.... guess I'm living in the 19th century

I've used for years the old stand by Remington 11/4 oz sluggers. I am a big fan of them and the shock of that big chunk of lead hitting the boiler room works great for me.

Lightfield 2 3/4 inch comandos work best in my mossberg 695.

RE: what slugs work best for you?????????
 

I have a winchester 1300 with a rifled barrel. I have shot winchester partition golds, lightfields, federals. None of them shoot very well out of my gun. Sam444, how do you like the 695, i have always thought of getting one, but i better decide here real quick seeing they are going out of production.

Get yourself a rifled choke tube and shoot sabots. I've used this set-up to shoot Winchester 1 oz. sabots and had very good and dependable results...but not for ranges beyond 60-70 yards. You might be able to reach further...I just dont know because I have not tried.

Good luck

My Berretta smooth bore groups very nicely at 75 yards using Brenneke Rotweilers.

Have you tried e-mailing Mossberg about what choke to use?

RE: what slugs work best for you?????????
 

I've shot just about every slug out there with a bunch of differant guns and barrels. The one thing I've learned is about every gun likes a differant slug. If you want to get the best patterns, buy a variety of slugs and shoot them, one will shine!

A couple things I've learned, typically 2 3/4" slugs tend to pattern better than 3" and several times the cheapest slugs pattern the best, why I don't know!

Good Luck!
