I have a Mossberg 500 Turkey Special, 12 guage, 3" chamber. Last fall, I broke down and finally purchased a cantalever rifle slug barrel with a 3x9 scope, at Dick's. They had it on sale for $170, so I couldn't pass it up. I picked up some Federal sabots with the Barns expander bullets and I was very impressed with the combined performance. 2" groups at 60 yards and the doe that I shot went down on the spot. She got up in a single leap, fell, jumped 2 more times and crashed. The area looked like an O.J. murder scene...nice blood "trail".
Often, I've entertained the thought of a Ruger Bisley Hunter, in .44 Mag. Some day, perhaps.
