First off, thanks everyone for all the great information. I'm learning a lot so far.

Jack Sparrow: what brand/type of $0.50 slugs are you using in your bird barrel? I was planning on buying a Mossberg 500 combo that comes with a 28" vent rib barrel and a 18 1/2" barrel. Both are smooth.

I would think that the 18 1/2" would be too short, and the 28" too long.
Could I shoot slugs that are designed for a smooth barrel (for bb's) with either of these barrels?
