Default Help on slugs for shotgun

What are some good slugs to shoot out of a smooth bore barrel, because im going to virginia for christmas and you have to have a muzzleloader or a shotgun. So what are some good slugs that yall think would be accurate to out to 100 yards shooting out of a smooth bore barrel. Im using a 12 gauge if that helps and i know every gun is different.

Tru-Balls seem to be the best rifled slugs out for good accuracy out of most guns. I dont know about shooting 100 yards since most smoot bore guns are only accurate enough to 50-75 yards.

Well every gun likes different slugs, You just have to put on some padded shoulder gear and test each slug.

Yea man, just take the beating, fork out the money and get some range time. see what you hit best with. Every gun, not just model or type, but every gun will shoo differently, especially out of smoothbore.

You actually can shoot them. It wont hurt nething at all but they will be very inaccurate. Im talking lucky to get 6" groups at 25 yards with them. And its the other way around with a rifled barrel,NEVER shoot rifled foster style slugs in a rifled barrel. It fills the rifling up with lead and is a pain to clean out and destroys accuracy from the barrel.
