I just picked up a cantelever rifled slug barrel from tss1004 , (great guy to do business with btw), and as I was cleaning it and putting on a red dot today, my mind hatched a silly question.
Once the red dot is zeroed, is there any benefit to using that barrel as the HD set up with 00 buckshot? I have a 18.5" cyl barrel w/ a bead sight that I keep on it for HD use, but since I can keep the red dot on the rifled barrel, I'm thinking it might almost make more sense to keep that barrel on and keep it loaded with 00.
Or am I losing any advantage the red dot provides with the extra weight and loss of manuverability with the longer barrel?
Mossy 500 if it matters.
