With nearly 2 ounces of heat treated hard cast lead, this would be my choice!
Dixie Slugs now has an 870 grain DG-IXL hard cast, heat treated 12 gauge 3" slug that runs 1200 fps from a 20" rifled barrel. This is a very specialized slug designed for Alaskan bear guides. Primarily for rifled barrels, it it is just nose heavy enough to remain stable to some 50 yards from .729"/.730" cylinder bore only smoothbore barrels.
