Can a 20 gauge slug be fired accurately from a non-rifled barrel?
A rifled slug can be fired from a smoothbore barrel with relative accuracy to about 100 yards. By relative accuracy, I mean that shots can be held in a 5 inch circle. That is about the size of the target zone on a deer. For a rifled barrel, rifled slugs should NOT be used, but sabot slugs can be.

What size is a musket ball?
Nominally, whatever size the bore of the musket is, although musket balls were usually considerably smaller than the bore in order to reduce powder fouling in the bore. The British Brown Bess was .75 calibre (but fired a .71 calibre musket ball), the French Charleville musket was .69 calibre (these were also commonly used by what would become the United States during the American Revolution), the smoothbore Springfield Muskets were .69 calibre, while the rifled muskets were .58 calibre... just to put a few out there.

Waist measurement of size 4 in women?
A size 4 would be about 26 inches. Generally you can add 21 or 22 to the dress size (4, 6, 7) and end up with the waist size in inches. Keep in mind that not every size 4 fits the same but they are similar.
What are rifled muskets?
It will help to understand the difference between a rifled musket and a smoothbore musket. Smoothbore muskets fired a round ball, which traveled down the barrel after the powder charge was ignited. In order to be able to load it, the ball had to be smaller in diameter than the bore, because it was loaded at the muzzle. For example, a .69 caliber gun fired a .678 sizd ball, sometimes even smaller. The reason these guns were so inaccurate was two-fold...firstly, because the bullet was smaller, gases could escape around the ball, causing the ball to "clatter" as it traveled the length of the barrel, and therefore would not leave the barrel the same WA each time. Secondly, the ball would leave the barrel, and depending on the clatter or size, it would be very unstable flight. A rifled musket is different....the gunsmith would use a bit to cut rifling into the interior of the barrel, creating a spiral of grooves into the barrel. The grooves were depressions in the surface, and the cut also created a lan, which is the area that was not cut. The rifled musket used a different bullet, called a Minie ball. The Minie ball was a conical shaped bullet with a hollow base, The base was called the skirt, and was fairly thin. When the black powder ignited, it caused the thin skirt to expand, engaging the bullet into the grooves, and imparting spin to the bullet. The spin greatly stabilized the bullet in flight, allowing it to travel farther. It was more accurate because as the skirt engaged, it created a seal from the gases that could normallye scape from a smoothbore. This insured that the bullet left the barrel the same way every time, and the gases were contained actually caused the bullet velocity to increase, whi chgave it a farther distance capability.
