Here's a paper target I shot at 300 yards with 5 - 5 shot groups on it. Conditions were very light wind.
This is the only target I shot to confirm that my slug-gun and slug were fairly consistent to at least 300 yards.
With a high BC 50gr. - .25 cal. slug I make and a custom slug gun I've posted about here on AGN , 300 yards isn't so far away.
2 groups were sub MOA, the other 3 groups were probably just shooter inconsistency. All were a bit high left, but fairly consistent.
This is what I consider the maximum effective range for this gun. Some light wind not really a problem at 300 yards.
This fragmenting slug still splits into 5 pieces at 320 yards, with acceptable consistent accuracy for Ground Squirrels. Just my opinion.
Sure it can shoot 500 - 600 yards and ring steel plates. But the wind will always make these yardages less than "truly effective ranges" to me.
These groups make it easy to see why I get bored shooting at an 8" ( 2 MOA) round steel plate at 420 yards, because I almost never miss it.
