I'm fairly inexperienced with shotguns since I do most of my hunting with rifles. But I just bought a Sears Roebuck Ranger 105-20 bolt-action 16 ga shotgun. It was probably made in the early 1940s but is in very good condition. The 25.5" barrel is a straight cylinder bore.
First question, are hollow-base rifled slugs that fit the bore (.662") available?
Second question, if I wanted to cast round balls, is it better to have them fit the bore and sit on top of a wad or be a bit smaller and fit inside a shot cup?
My end goal is to shoot for fun and possibly hunt deer.
