How accurate "should" slugs be from a smooth bore?
Mine consistently puts 3 shots in a 5" circle at 50 yards, with a mod choke and Walmart bulk Winchester Super X 1oz rifled slugs. Is this good, bad, or average?

He doesn't want it on the powder but wants only the powder with the slug affixed to the front diameter to shoot through a rifled barrel, buy a NEI .534-570 mold or one of Accurate Molds designs shotcups to act as sabots.
On the powder.
