Hog Hunting

Is 00 buck shot in a 12 gauge shotgun sufficient for hog hunting, or do I need to use slugs?

If I have to use slugs, do I have to have a rifled barrel for the shotgun, and if not how will this affect the slugs accuracy?

use the slugs. The maximum effective range on the buckshot on a hog is literally point blank. Those slugs will knock him A$$ over elbows out to 100 yards if you practice. As for rifled/unrifled: for best accuracy, use a rifled slug barrel, but then using buckshot or lead shot in it dosn’t not work out very well. On the other hand, I prefer to use an unrifled 20″ barrel with modified choke and slugs in a sabot (jacket) these slugs/sabots are rifled and do impart enough twist to the projectile to make it acceptably accurate out to 100 yards. I’ve used them on some darn big hogs, bears, deer and even elk. Others have used them on buffalo, grizzly bears etc, and even used in Africa. Plus, without changing barrels, you can switch back to buckshot, or bird shot at any time.
shoot safe
