Try Federal Classics 2 3/4, 1oz rifled

I tested a bunch and they were the best I tried.

Rifled slugs are fine.

I run the Walmart Remington 1oz "Slugger" shells, 1 oz Rifled slugs. They shoot POA at 15 yards in my gun.

I wanna try the Winchester Win-Lite Slugs at some point.

Remington Slugger for the win. I shoot them by the case load through my Remington 870s, Mossy 500s, and my Saiga 12s. Best bang for the buck (pun intended ).

I have good results with Federal Tru-Ball and any of the Remington slugs.

No matter what brand, the slugs you want will be Foster-style slugs, aka rifled slugs. You do not want sabot slugs.

Yep. One ragged hole at 50 yards with my 18.5" cylinder bore.

I use Winchester Super X 12ga 2/34".  Pretty decent accuracy and definitely packs a whollop...

Ok so rifled slugs go thru a smoothbore barrel. What goes thru a rifled barrel?

Often sabot slugs, the plastic sabot engages the lands/grooves really well and leaves zero deposits (copper/lead) on the inside surface of the barrel.





A rifled barrel with a sabot slug is a very accurate combination for deer hunting at longer ranges.

Sabots.

Projectiles that have to have a rifled barrel to be fired accurately.

I really like Remington sluggers. They shoot very well out of my 870, and they seem to be accurate for quite some distance.

I bought a bunch of Wolf 1 ounce slugs awhile back and my Benelli loves them.  I haven't taken them to 100 yards yet but they are grouping around 3 inches at 50 yards.  Good enough for what I need and they are loaded to only 1400 fps so the recoil isn't as bad as some of the others.

I've had decent luck with Brenneke KOs out of my smoothbore 930. Accurate enough for me and inexpensive.
