    Shotguns are just like rifles you need to try different brands and styles to find the load your gun likes. I have shot Buffalo Deer and Pigs with solids. Most cylinder bore guns with the right slug will give a 3" group at 70 yds if using adjustable sights, some will do this at 100 yds. I have 3 Mossberg shotties and each needs a different load to get 3" at 70. With the wrong slug these same guns will shoot a 9"-15"pattern at 30 yds. Good luck it takes time and money but once sorted there isnt much the 12 bore cant take down.

    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.
