Rifled Lead slugs?
Aight I know I know. The rifling is supposedly useless and it is the foster hollow base that makes it accurate. Having shot more than a few OLD lead slugs that were just that a hunk of non-rifled non-hollow base lead in the shell I can certainly tell the difference in accuracy on them. But heres the question. What range do you limit yourself to with a rifled lead slug? With my mosseberg 12 gauge pump with its fixed cylinder choke I can nail a 8" swinging steel plate at 75 yards every time I pull the trigger. And thats with open sites. I have just never taken a shot at more than about 50 or 60 yards with my single shot 20 gauge with its fixed modified choke.
What yardage would you limit yourself to with rifled lead slugs in a smoothbore? GoodOlBoy
