Porkchop500
Copper BB
Not only is this my first post on this forum, but I also recently purchased my first shotgun, the Mossberg 500. As you all know, it is a fantastic piece of equipment and thus far I am very happy with my purchase!
So my main purpose for purchasing a shotgun was to try clay shooting (which is highly addictive as I quickly found out!). But I was also interested in shooting slugs to about 100 yards. My question is this, what's the performance difference between shooting a rifled slug in the stock smooth bore, versus switching to a rifled barrel and a standard slug? I'm not a professional marksman but is there really a difference in one setup versus another an amateur would notice?
Since I'm new to the shotgun world, I hope I have my info correct but feel free to correct my ignorance if I am mistaken. Thanks in advance for all your feedback!
