how accurate is a 20 gauge rifled barrel?

Answer 1

20 gauge Rifled Slugs are effective out to about 100 yards. If you want even better results consider using a 20 gauge Sabot round. These are 20 gauge and consist of a hard lead Sabot bullet encased in a plastic sleeve. As the slug clears your barrel end the plastic casing falls away and the slug continues on hitting your target/game. These can increase your range and accuracy out of a rifled barrel up to 20% over regular rifled slugs. They cost a bit more but they are well worth the extra cost. They can be purchased online or at any retail Sporting Goods store that sells ammunition

Answer 2

A 20 gauge rifled barrel shotgun is going to be as accurate as the shooter, but probably not more accurate than say a .22 Long Rifle.

Answer 3

I know a guy who had one on his Mossberg pump and he could use slugs and easily lay down groups in a reasonably good (maybe ~4 inches) pattern out at 50 yards.

That was from a bench with no real elevation change and after it was sighted in, but he could ethically shoot deer like this.

Answer 4

Very accurate at close distance, however slugs are very heavy, you will need to sight in at whatever distance you will be shooting because of the bullet drop.

Answer 5

Best and accurate at One yard to 75 yards*....

Answer 6

It depends what kind of weapon it is. And what kind of slugs you use and the most important thing is the shooter.But on average I know for a fact it will kill a deer.
