I ran out of Remington LE Reduced Recoil slugs, and after being unable to locate a source for more (You're not in law enforcement, what do you need their slugs for?") I ordered a bunch of Remington Managed Recoil Sluggers.

How much will my point of impact change? (I know no one can give me an exact answer, but would you expect it to be similar, since their both made by Remington, both reduced recoil loads, and both firing 1 oz rifled slugs?)
 
For whatever it's worth, I did not need to rezero after swtiching from Brenneke Rottweils to Brenneke KOs (after my source similarly dried up). No appreciable shift in POA out to 100 yds.
 
The only way to know is to try some.

One 870 here puts darn near everything into 6" at 50 yards. Best ammo goes into 2" but needs a tad more windage right.
 
Thanks for the replies guys.

Got another one for you: What if you take a rifle sight shotgun, put the barrel on another gun, will the sights still be dead on, with the same barrel (and attached sights) on another reciever?
 
No. Sometimes the barrel will shift POI just by removing and re installing it. One here will stay on the paper, but it moves about 2-3" in random fashion.

The cantilever system was designed to end that. It hasn't, though things are better.
