Upgrading my wife's 870 with a rifled barrel. Any recommendations for an accurate, effective slug. This is for the little woman, so only considering 2 3/4" shells.
I use the 3 inch Remington Accu-Tips in my 220 Savage. I agree they kick a bit but I use that gun to hunt a farm that grows alfalfa and close shots are pretty rare. I have occasionally shot out to nearly 200 yards with no problem other than the wind.
In my rifled Ithaca I have used the 2 3/4 in Accu Tip and the SST in regular and Lite form. I have also used WW 2 3/4 in Foster Slugs and 2 3/4 inch Federal Tru-ball foster slugs and they both do very well and are reasonably priced. I have killed several deer and one bear with them and could likely use them except for ranges past 100 yard or so. but I am a looney I guess.
