What exactly is the purpose of using a slug? Wouldn’t it be better to just use a rifle with a bullet? I thought the whole purpose of shotguns was their spread. Is it just to make shotguns multi-functional?
I bought this gun for deer hunting, but the question is can this gun shoot slugs without anything special needed. And if so what kind (brand) slug. And can a buckshot do the trick. Thank You
18 1/2inch barrel
Maximum shell size 3inch, non-toxic, non-Slug.
Brand and type please.
oops, It can be toxic lead pellets…I was mixed up from reading the manual about chocke tubes that require steel shot.
I was thinking about buying this 12 gauge Mossberg 500 tactical shotgun:

What is the effective range of a shotgun shell (00 buck, slug, etc…?)
Is a shotgun blast deadlier than a rifle blast?
I have been looking at mossberg 835 ultra-mag tactical turkey shotgun, and i don’t want to just only shoot turkey loads out of it, i would like to be able to hunt deer, partridge, and or waterfowl, but i don’t know if i can shoot any other type of ammo out of it, i know you cant shoot a slug threw it while the choke is in it but im not sure if you can shoot another type of ammo out of it.
I am looking for a good brand of slug to shoot from my Mossberg. Im kinda new to shooting shotguns, so any help would be apperciated.
Alright, so I just bought a mosberg 500 tactical persuader for 400 plus tax etc from a sporting store. I’ve never had a shotgun before, and I’m a total noob when it comes to shotguns. I have a few questions, first can someone simplify the ammunition? What is buck shot? Bird shot? etc etc. I know what a slug is, a solid projectile, but I don’t understand the difference between all the other ones.
Here is the ammunition I got, anyone know anything about this ammunition? I just grabbed a random one that said 12 guage on it, since I new my shotgun was 12 guage.

This is the right ammunition right?
I just got the gun for shooting at the range for fun. I’m not even sure how to chamber these rounds yet. Also, does anyone know where to get blank ammo? Dummy ammo, that u can just use to load and unload for demonstration purposes?
I want to buy a shotgun and I want to get on that is reasonably priced but also good quality.What brand would be suitable?What type of ammo would be the best?Slug?Buckshot?What is the difference and what are those used for?
i was going to use my 410 or 12 gauge shotgun for deer hunting next year. is it possible to use an unrifled barrel,if so what kind of slug and should i take the choke off or should i use a choke at all?
at a good sized target 50 yards away and have the slug hit the target with both barrels?
What is the most powerful round that can be used in a shotgun? A deer slug? Buckshot?
Iowa and parts of Southern Wisconsin mandate that deer hunters use shotguns. Now, my stupid question is this: I’ve seen Hornady 20 gauge sabot slugs advertised as having 1800 fps of snot to them. Now, my 170 grain .30-30 has about 2100. If the whole reason for using shotguns is because of how far a projectile may go, isn’t using this super-shotgun ammo kind of defeating the purpose?! I suppose a shotgun slug will not carry 2 miles, but from what it said on that box, no drop out to 150 yards.
Secondly, if you’re allowed to hunt with a .357 pistol for deer, why can’t you hunt with a .410 slug?
I know rules are rules, but some of them seem kind of stupid. But, it does seem that technology has bypassed some of these rules. (Super sabots)
Is the 11-87 semi-automatic where the 870 is a pump model?
Whis is better for both home self-defense and hunting (with a slug?). Thanks.
