My group of 5 guys all shoot rifled barrels. 4 of the 5 are mounted on Beretta's. 4 of the 5 have Hastings Barrels. One guy uses a Beretta barrel with a slower twist. Accuracy runs about 2" at 100 yards for all of them. Take note of the twist in your barrel. Faster spin means faster slugs fare better. We shoot Federal Barnes Expanders at 1900 fps (out of production now, but Federal Trophy Copper are very close to the same). The Beretta barrel is a slower twist thus that guys shoots the 1500 fps version.
And to the guys who are afraid of the recoil? My now 12 year old daughter has shot 2 deer with them without complaint the last 2 years. So if a 10 year old can shoot them, they arent just too bad.
