I'm not a big fan of slugs. I had an experience of zero penetration from a Rem 12 ga. slug fired from my 870. It struck a good-sized whitetail buck in the shoulder at about 45 yds. It flattened the slug to the shape and size of a silver dollar, and slid up to the neck just under the skin on the near side. The buck fell away from me, and the second shot hit the heart.
I will be impressed if the new trigger turns that pattern into a group. If rifle is legal in your area, that other group will put venison in your freezer for sure.

That's 50 yards with a rifle I hadn't shot for at least 20 years. The big holes are indeed 12ga. I put the trigger kit in it today. Trigger pull is much nicer now. I need to find time to get back to the range and try it out.

That is indeed impressive! What was the distance to the target? Are the two really big holes from the Mossberg? ------------- Max Charleston SC On Wed, Nov 20, 2019 at 12:20 PM Curt Raymond via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Anybody ordered from M*Carbo before?I ordered one of their Mossberg 500 > trigger kits yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frpF4vwy9Fk > A week or so ago I fired my 500 with the slug barrel, it shot adequately > but not "minute of deer".
