[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5086999, member: 12277"] I tried slugs in my Mossberg 8 shot riot gun years ago. Even put a Leupold 2 1/2X fixed scope on it. Accuracy was too discouraging to use so bought an In-Line muzzle loader instead since those were the two weapon choices for the WMA I want to deer hunt. Now I certainly didn't do an exhaustive testing of all the slugs available at the time so obviously I never found the best accuracy my gun was capable of. For sure a lot of hunters used slugs in smooth bore guns for years and killed deer with them. Funny story as to the eventual "home" my Leupold 2 1/2X scope found. When I bought one of the tiny 22 rimfire Chipmunk rifles for my daughter I was thinking of putting a scope on it and saw that Leupold laying unused so it's been on that little rifle for about 13 years now. I told her that her Chipmunk probably had the most expensive scope on it of any kid 22 in the country. :) [/QUOTE]
