If your on Van. Island, better make sure it's not a "shotgun with shot only" restricted area.

I too have had good accuracy with rifled slugs in a smoothbore. The range is still limited, but will reach out better than buckshot. I imagine a rifled barrel would give you a bit more of an edge, but it might be worth trying a few slugs at the range in your existing barrel, to see how they do.
