...A slug can "reach" out pretty damn far. What you can accurately shoot and determine with external ballistics calculations is another thing entirely. Realistically, 150 yards absolute maximum to be in "minute of man." (And, yes, I know that people have shot further out than that with slugs... No, don't expect those results to be commonplace. I've also seen videos of people shooting paper plates with snub-nose revolves out to 200+ yards, precisely because they know the range and hold-over. Same applies here.) But, realistically, the ranges just aren't enough to justify use of magnified optics at those ranges, and with the amount of deviation you're going to have with slugs, over the clunkyness of the optics. At that point, you're just magnifying your sight on the target more than you're actually utilizing the scope and mil-dot ranging to hit anything with it.Honestly mostly people were complaining because they didn't try to do a basic google search about rifle shotguns, or the range a slug shot could reach with the right requirements, or even try to look at hunting shotguns
