When shooting a 12 gauge what is the range that it is accurate?

usually the range of a 12 gauge slug rifle is within 100 yards. However, there's new sabotted ammo such as Hornady SST that may allow you to reach 150-200 yards. At ranges longer than 150 yards the killing power drops. Most deer hunting scenarios are within 60 yards in the woods. I shot two deer in Maryland during the muzzleloder season within 30 yards. I hope this answers your question.

Is a 4 10 good for trap shooting?
No, a 4-10 shotgun would not be a good idea for shooting trap. The problem is the small size of the shell - with a very small amount of lead, you have a small chance of hitting your target. Shooting a 20 gauge shotgun is much better but still not a good idea for the same reason. The standard shotgun for shooting trap is a 12 gauge. The largest gauge allowed by nearly all trap shooting leagues, a 12 gauge has enough lead and enough power behind it to get consistent hits and high scores.
