How long are the Gauge Mates and how much smaller is the slug than the bore it rides in?

bill the gauge mates are about 3 inches in length....i have never measured the slug in the bore bill..i have took a slug apart and put it in the breach end and slid it down the bore the wad petels are a lose fit...i have shot several 12 ga slugs thru this same gun several times...both barrels on this gun are full choke but for some reason the left barrel shoots the slugs pretty decent and the right barrel you cannot hit a bull in the rear end with a base fiddle.....i am certain i could hit a deer at 50 yards with it in the vital area....if i could come up with some type of sight other than that bead i might get another 10 yards or so out of the ole ten...charlie
