Any thoughts to a case lot price break for the mini
Is the zinc slug meant for smooth or rifled bore?

Smooth, should be fine up to a modified choke, even full really as it's a foster type slug.
Added product links to the original post!

Thanks Canadaammo for making it right and correcting / specifying the type of slug (smooth, not rifled/Foster) !!

What about accuracy ??? I recall smooth bore musket wasn't very accurate for a reason !

And even though, that is not what was stated / advertised !!!
 
The spirals on Foster and Brenneke slugs do not actually impart any spin onto the projectile, they're just a gimmick. If you want 1-3 MOA precision from a slug you'll need to get a rifled barrel and Sabot slugs or get lucky with a high quality (Carlson, for example) rifled choke.

What really defines a Foster slug is the hollow base, the expanding skirt works in principle similarly to the Minie Ball. Brenneke Slugs will have a solid base.

Either way, these are not Sabot slugs and whether Traditional, Brenneke or Foster they're safe to fire out of basically any modern shotgun.
 
Thanks - your web site is messed up. When I tired to order the slugs 240 round it charged me way more than was posted for the bulk pack. Tried to order other stuff same result. Since it is next to impossible to get through on the telephone I will by from another vendor. So thanks for saving me some money.

... I can't comment on accuracy, generally speaking though one does not expect much accuracy from slugs, especially bargain priced ones. The general intent of these is for 3 gun range play, quick and dirty, hit a 2 foot x 2 foot steel plate at 25 yards and move move move!
Error in advertising, maybe so, but they're cheap and go bang, if you do your part you will hear a "Ding" too.
If you want deer or bear hunting ammo, you're barking up the wrong tree to begin with.
My 2 cents is all.
Cheers
