I have recently acquired a Mossberg 500 with a 24 inch "fully rifled" slug barrell. I have little experience with slugs.
The manual that comes from Mossberg advises: "Fully rifled barrels deliver best acuracy with sabot style slugs. 'Rifled' slugs and shotshells are not recommended for use in rifled barrels."
I was wondering if any of you guys have experience with this type of barrel.
I have mounted a Weaver 1.5-4x scope on the barrel. I have 4 boxes of Federal 12 guage 2 3/4" 1 1/4 oz slugs (probably around 20 years old) and 4 boxes of Winchester Super X 12 guage 2 3/4" one ounce rifled slugs that came in the shotgun deal.
May I use these slugs to get the Scope close to POI?
If you have experience with this type of barrel, what type of slugs do you find give best accuracy?
Thanks in adavance.
