Hi. I would like to know what would be the best type of slugs top use with each particular barrel. I used to have a Remington 20 gauge with a rifled barrel that I used for sabot slugs. I understand this is the best combination or it was 12 years ago when I was into shotguns and hunting.
I am getting back into the sport and I no longer have the 20 gauge, but I just acquired a Mossberg 88 12 gauge with 20" cylinder bore barrel. I am trying to avoid buying a rifled barrel at the moment. What would be the best type of slug to use with this barrel that would give me the greatest distance and accuracy? Would there be a difference between a standard slug and a rifled slug being shot out of this barrel?
I also plan on getting a 28" barrel with interchangeable chokes for small game and clay targets. I understand you can shoot slugs out of these types of barrels as long as you have the right choke. I thought I read somewhere that they make a rifled choke that can be used with sabot slugs, is this true? What would be the best type of slug and choke to use with this type of barrel?
I would really appreciate your input. If you can at least point me in the right direction so I can try out a couple different options that would work best with my shotgun I would really appreciate it. Thank You.
