I agree with the idea that your gun is going to pick the slugs that are best for you. I have a Benneli that loves expensive Brenneke slugs, and an 870 that used to love the Activ Slugs (that I can't get anymore!!). The Benneli wouldn't keep the Activs on a paper plate at 50 yards, but the Remington (full choke barrel) would put all of them under one hand at 100 yards!

It is going to take some $$$ and some time to figure out which slug your guns likes best.
