What's the effective range of a shotgun with a rifled barrel shooting slugs? Is it also OK to shoot buckshot out of one of these barrels? I deer hunt in eastern Oklahoma where a shot over 50 yds. is a little on the long side. Most are at 30 yds. or less. I've been hunting with a scoped rifle, but sometimes it's hard to pick the animal up. I've decided on either a lever action rifle with open sights or a rifled barrel shotgun. A scope won't be used.
