Range expectations are important to consider.

I've used the Berneke slugs in a rifled 20 ga with very good groups. They are inexpensive, in 2 3/4 don't kick all that bad and pack plenty of power for deer..........but they lose velocity fast as they are flat nosed so have limited range potential.

Used the Hornady SST also........more range........more expense.
