I've been shooting slugs on and off for 15 years... and I hate 'em! 12's kick like a mule and I have found most all of them finicky til you find the right ammo for them. I've had the Tar-Hunt bolt, Tar-Hunt 870, semi's, Savages, and assorted pumps and singles and usually at least once a year have visions of chucking one into a pond or wrapping it around a tree
But, they are good for quick follow ups and deer drives. So, I got into a Mossberg 930 slugger last year and it'll put 3 Hornady SSTs into 3" at 100 if I concentrate well. It works (and SSTs have been the best ammo for me over the years) but anytime shots have a good chance of being over 50 yards or I am not pushing/driving, I am going with a muzzleloader.
