There's no simple answer here. Each barrel is a law unto itself as to which slug is most accurate.

Sabot slugs are best in fully rifled barrels. The older Forster "Rifled" slugs and the various Brenekkes are for smoothbores and rifled choke tubes.

I use one in my basic slug shooter. With the right slug and good bench technique,it prints into 4" at 100 yards. And there's been plenty of venison taken with that.

In your shoes, I'd buy some 5 packs and bench them. Once a best choice is obvious, buy lots of that, preferably from the same lot.
