Mossberg slug gun question
Just picked up a like-new Mossberg 835 combo (since I didnt really have anything that would throw a slug)
Anyone use a 835 for deer? What slugs does yours prefer ? I'd like to have a starting place for ammo before I hit the range thanks

My 870 has the mossberg 24 rifled slug barrel and It like the barnes expander slugs and reg. lightfield sabbots.

We've had good luck with remington's copper solids, in most of the slug guns we shoot. Also lightfields, and the old BRI sabots. By a very good margin, 2 3/4" slugs seem to be more accurate. JMHO

I shoot 2 3/4 Rem Solid Copper out of my 11-87. Too much stuff comes and goes as far as ammo. The Solid Copper seems to have grabbed a foot hold and has the possibility of staying around for a while.
Mine will shoot about 3" groups at 100 yds. Figure its good out to 125 or 150 which is more than enough for the Woodlots of NewEngland.

835 Back Bored Barrels
Just make sure you only attempt to shoot slugs out of that 835 using a barrel designated as safe to use with slugs. The smooth-bore barrels are all back-bored, making them unsafe to shoot with slugs. All the smooth-bore barrels for my 835 say this on the barrel. You do have to read it though. This is also addressed in the owner's manual. However, since I got the impression that you got your gun used, you may not have gotten the owner's manual. You are probably already aware of this but I figured I'd point it out in case you weren't.
