Hey Guys,
I am going to push my luck and ask two dumb questions in a day! I have a Mossey 500 in 12 and one in 20, and was thinking of picking up a cantilever rifled slug barrel for whitetail hunting.... I am in S.E. PA and my area is special regs. so shotgun, muzzle loader, and archery are it.... (I do have a bow and a flint'er for hunting).
If I was to make the leap and set up one of these as a slug gun.... Which is better for deer the 12 or 20? I have heard both recommended but have heard that the 20 is the most accurate, while the 12 hits a bit harder.... most of my shooting will be between 50-75 yards.... but I hear these new fangled slugs and barrels make 100 yard hunting shots, (If I do my part!), the norm rather then the exception....
What do you guys think?
Thanks!
Fred
P.S. Gunbroker seems to have the best prices for the cantilever barrels.... around $124.00 + shipping.... give or take.....Bass pro and Cabellas are quite a bit more.... is there a better place to look?
