I would like to hear opinions of shotgun slug comparisons.20 Ga. versus 12 Ga. for accuracy and their ability to knock a deer down.Primarily the Sabot Slugs.And your opinion as to what brand of slugs you like.Any bad experience with with any type of slug you have used on deer.

    I own a Remington 870 Express which has a 24in improved cylinder slug barrel. I have been using Remington slugger rifled slugs out of it for years, but I have been told by some that it is ok to shoot the Copper Solid hollow point Sabot slugs out of it also. Is this true?

    I am the new owner of an 11-87 12ga with screw-in chokes. Is it possible to shoot slugs with this gun? If so, which choke? While I am familiar with many other arms, shotguns are not my forte, so any help is appreciated.

    From what I understand, there are rifled slugs, does this matter at all in the above?

    Do you have to use sabots while shooting out of a rifled barrel? If not, what are some good(cheap) slugs that wont fill in my rifeling after 1 shot.

    Thanks,

    Saboted slugs are intended primarily for rifled barrels, and rely on the rifling to impart spin. They would work in your shot gun but the accuracy would likely be less than stellar.
