A box of slugs would last me years. I usually shoot 5-6 to see where they hit at 50 yds. or so then call it good until I want to really hammer something with an ounce of lead.
I cast my own LEE 1 oz. 12 bore slugs and worked a light load of 17.5 grs. of RedDot in a 7/8 oz. plastic wad. Years ago I got a deal on some Estate white transparent hulls. The orange wad and big slug can be seen through the walls. Power is just subsonic at 1000-1050 fps with easy recoil.
Ive always wanted to play with a fully rifled barrel but that is all they are good for, nothing else. A smooth bore will shoot fine to at least 75 yds. and that is enough for me.
