    I believe slug pressures would theoretically be lower than shot charges of the same weight using the same charge.
    Although the weight is the same the bearing area of the shot charge is larger than that of the slug due to its less dense packing of the pellets which in theory will produce more friction and resistance and therefore increase pressure. I could be wrong though.
