Thread: Shotguns for pigs

Hi, i have two shotguns I bought for shooting pigs. A 12g Dickinson Tac Pro and 20g Mossberg SA20. The Mossberg seems OK with slugs once I get it sighted in. I just installed a Bushnell red dot but am out of slugs at the moment. Just tried the Dickenson at 50 meters with Spartan 00 buckshot with three different chokes.
Modified, Improved Modified, and Full. I got about 4 hits on the board at best. I was hoping for a patten of sat 300mm or 400mm.
Is this normal? Most pigs I see are normally closer but some can be 40 meters or so and pretty big.im using the shotguns since its s bit safer in the scrub for nearby farms.
Thanks.
