I just purchased a Moss 500 trophy slugster with rifled barrel chambered for 2 3/4 or 3". Gun store I purchased from said no reason to use a 3" shell. If planning to sight in with scope for 100 yrds using sabots, isn't the 3" going to give more velocity and accuracy for the distance shot? Am I wasting money on the Rem. gold and Win premium and gold slugs? Or just shoot them all 'till gun finds its' favorite?

ld69, listen to bobski he knows what he is talking about.
The only rounds that I have found to really benefit from 3"mag is buckshot or for sabots only for penetration purposes not for accuracy or distance. Have fun shooting[:D]

isn't much gain in ballistics. You will want to use saboted slugs and unfortunately, you will have to try a couple different varieties to find which your gun likes. Mine seems to prefer the Win. and Federals.
Men, like bullets, go farthest when they are smoothest.

KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY.BUT NOT HOT.....single action S&Ws are keepers
In a rifled bbl they both do pretty good.
Good luck. I think you'll like it.
