What max effective range do you recommend for hunting w/ the rifled 500?I have a older mossberg 500 slugster, it shoots well great for short range only weapon areas. Just use the old Winchester super x in it and performs well.

Not sure what the max with it would be, the areas I use it in I can only get to 100 yards and it does well within that rangeWhat max effective range do you recommend for hunting w/ the rifled 500?
Great, thanks - pretty heavily wooded here, too, so I should be good - will zero my scope at 100.Not sure what the max with it would be, the areas I use it in I can only get to 100 yards and it does well within that range
I've killed quite a few on army bases (and Iowa) with a browning a-bolt 12 ga. Remington Premier accutips would group around 2". Farthest shot i made on a whitetail was 157 yds but I would have been comfortable to 200.A neighbor of mine used to shoot a browning A bolt 12 gauge- he reported 1-1/2" to 2" groups from the bench. I never saw him shoot it, but he did kill a lot of deer with it.
I used the SSTs for a season or two with a heavy barrel NEF 12 ga. For the most part they were very accurate, but occasionally (frequent enough for concern) I would have a flyer that would impact 4 inches or so away from the rest of the group. Similar results with Remington copper solid sabots. I had the gun weighted, in addition to the heavy barrel. It probably weighed 12 lbs. Switching to the slower, heavier lightfield sabots solved that problem.I used to shoot a Mossberg 695 rifled slug gun with Hornady SST’s. It was a very accurate combo that didn’t cost an arm and a leg.
