I dont feal it is so much a range thing so much as most would feal if you can shoot farther it must be better.
It is called perceaved comfert there was a time when most guns didnt shoot slugs acurate past 80 yards.
I read a old nra mag that was old on how to get the best groups out of a smoth bore gun and it talked about installing a peep and the best range was about 80 yards.
Now you have to realize 50 to 80 yards is not that great and most times it would still be a dead deer and this was still before iron sighted smoth bore slug guns of the 70s.
Most hunters dont realize just like there has been improvements in slugs the same is trew in buck shot it dos not have to be just round lead balls winchester makes copper plated bufferd rounds that hold a group real well
there are all typs of roundsyou can work with.
