Being in a slug state, I'm thinking of getting my son a Mossberg 500 combo for this year's deer season (yes, I know it's getting a little late...)
Personally, I like a 20-gauge slug gun, but this being a combo setup, we're wondering if 12-gauge might be the way to go because of the advantages on the smoothbore side of things.
Looking at the slugs available to choose from, it looks like most brands use identical projectiles for their 20ga and 12ga offerings, with only the sabot being a larger diameter. Does that mean the ballistics of both should be pretty much the same?
