Sorry for the information problem.

In a scattergun of GOOD working order, slugs in the barrel restrictions you have are NO PROBLEM. Improved cyl is my favorite restriction and shoot slugs very well.

I think your problem will be that of you point of aim not being your point of impact. Before I became a pump gun guy, I tried slugs in my Fox double and found that each barrel shot to a different point. Latter in life I found out that this problem is chronic in double guns.

In my opinion stick with "rifled" slugs, try a variety of them, find the ones that your gun likes. My favorite is RSW/Brenneke, they are a bit more expensive than the standard Winchester/Remington foster types.

Hope this answers your question.

Good Luck & Be Safe
