Inside 80-100 yards a pellet generally is the more accurate.
Further out a slug generally does better.

More penetration and less wind drift overall, longer range potential = Slug
Plinking, light pesting, accuracy / competition such as BR or FT = Pellet

Thankyou all that replied ,informative answers

i was hoping to see targets and if the two projectiles printed the same in the parameters i set up or basically does the shape matter ? Is an 18 grain slug any more or less accurate than a 18 grain skirted pellet ?
