     Hi Lyle:
     Just out of curiousity, does your friend reload his slugs or is
     he using "store bought". I think 5-6" at 100 yds is very doable.
     I use the bottom of a 3lb coffee can to make my 100 yd targets and
     if it's not too windy, the reloads will put  3 in there with good
     consistancy off a bench rest. I've found that with the "store bought"
     fosters, the barrel leads up after only a couple of shots and the
     accuracy seems to go down the tube pretty quickly. I never shot pins
     with shotgun slugs, but it seems it would sure be fun. Were the slugs
     you saw being made, used with sabots?
                               Take Care
                               Dave
