There's no ineffective 12 gauge slugs, so just buy some five packs of various Rifled Slugs and Brenekkes, bench test until one shows superior accuracy,l then buy lots of that one. Repeat with sundry buck loads.

With a little practice, most folks can keep them inside 3" at 50 yards with a bead, so hold off on any sight upgrades for now. What needs upgrading's you and your shooting.

For practice, the generic bulk pack loads SHOULD work fine, but lots of folks have reported trouble with the Winchester stuff.

Get 1 oz or even better, 7/8 oz birdshot loads for practice. Breaks will be solid if you do your part and recoil much less.

Be safe, have fun, shoot lots.....
