Hello,
I have a Mossberg 12g 500 with an 18.5" smoothbore barrel w/ 3" chamber and rifle sights. Will rifled slugs form this setup have the penetration necessary to take an elk size animal out to 50-75yds. reliably? What brand slug would best fit the bill in this situation? Would I be better off with my bow? (max range 40 yds for me)
Thanks,
