Slug barrel question

[Bone Collector]

I am thinking about getting a slug barrel for either my 12 or 20 ga shotgun. Leaning toward the 20, because i don't have a second 12 and do not want to be without a 12 for turkey etc.

I guess what i need to know is, does the 20 have enough umpf to get out there to 100 yds. I was told yes by a man that was at the range with the exact same 20 ga that i have (remington 870). He was shooting at 50 yds and had a group in a 2" circle in the bull. He said it was very capable of a 100 yd shot and had the velocity of a .50 ML.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what ammo to use.

I would try the hornady sst in 20 gauge My buddy uses them and has dropped many deer with them.

it will definitely shoot that far they now have those sabot slugs capable of shooting accurately out to 200 yds if u can afford them about $30 for 5 shells

Not sure why you would be worried about the 12, the barrels are changeable in less than a few minutes. I do it all the time with my Ithaca deerslayer & Remington 11-87 premiere.

purchase a Hastings w/cantilevered scope mount and bam.........no problems, scope goes with the barrel. No having to resight or remove the scope from the receiver.

I was wondering if that would work thanks for that info.

BE SURE TO CHECK THE RATE OF TWIST OF THE BARREL. THE SST'S NEED A FAST TWIST 1 IN 28 LIKE IN WINCHESTER OR BROWNING BARRELS. REM AND MOSS HAVE A SLOWER RATE OF 1 IN 35
