skeet,
I gotta agree with you, shooting slugs in any shotgun will never "shoot the choke out of it" as I used to hear when I was a kid. I suggest folks go to the bench and shoot various slugs from their shotguns and carefully record where the gun's point of impact is in relation to point of aim. I have a dozen 12 gauge guns and all but two shoot slugs where "they are looking" out to 100 yards. I have deer barrels for two of my pumps and the rear sights are zeroed for specific makes of slugs and recorded in my shooting diary. The other guns have simple beads, but will keep slugs in the black on a smallbore target at 100 yards.
In PA, only the 4 or 5 Special Regulations counties near Philadelphia permit buckshot. I prefer slugs and have Federal, Winchester and Remington slugs put by for specific shotguns.
