rifled slugs through a smooth barrel are great for under 100 yards. You should be able to easily shoot 2-3" groups. Foster style slugs are designed to be nose heavy so when they start to lose stability in flight, they bring themselves back into smooth flight.

A rifled barrel will be accurate to 100+ yards, but is far more expensive to shoot due to the higher cost of sabot slugs.
