Just curious. They fly great, and have never had a problem out of my mossberg 835 with a rifled slug barrel on it. Two holes touching at 50 yards is fine with me, especially considering the heavy trigger and massive kick I am quite impressed.

Weird. I guess I'm not going to worry about it since everything hits the bull, but gives me something to think about. The 3.5" shells however are going to be much harder to find, especially mid season. I'm sticking with what works.

Firing a 2-3/4" slug in a 3-1/2" chamber is not recommended because of the length of the jump the slug makes between the end of a 2-3/4" case and the front end of a 3-1/2" chamber. This can cause misalignment of the sabot on the slug, thus causing a serious pressure problem as well as poor accuracy. Slugs are NOT LIKE SHOT SHELLS where a shorter shell can be safely fired in a longer chamber with no ill effects. The bottom line is you should use a shell with a minimum case length of 3" (ideally 3-1/2") in any 3-1/2" chambered rifled barrel for best accuracy. THE CASE LENGTH SHOULD MATCH THE CHAMBER LENGTH WHEN IT COMES TO SLUGS.
