If recoil is an issue, then Federal TruBall makes their slugs in standard and low recoil. You can get them thru Cabelas. TruBalls will cut groups in half over standard slugs.

Federal low recoil Tactical buck isn't bad to shoot at all if you can find it. Ammoman has it ordered--you might check.. In fact, all the LE ammo is low recoil--except some standard pressure specific for semi-autos.

For a leaded bore, I've found that plenty of solvent on one of those copper (or silver) mesh like scouring pads found in any supermarket, do a great job. You probably won't be doing that much sighting in anyway. Just don't let it build up.

I've found the Rottweil Brenneke slugs to be midway between low recoil LE and full power slugs where velocity and recoil are concerned. Not bad to shoot, unlike Federal Classics that thump me good. Brennekes are hard, and shouldn't lead things up too bad.
