What else can I help you with?
Are the barrels of the baikal double barrel shotgun riffled?
probably not, historicly shotguns are smoothbore if you shoot a slug, THAT would be rifled.
Can a 20 gauge shoot a slug accurate out of a smoothe bore barrel?
Yes, a 20 gauge shotgun can shoot slugs accurately from a smoothbore barrel, although the accuracy may not be as high as when using a rifled barrel. Smoothbore barrels are designed primarily for shot, but many smoothbore shotguns can still effectively fire slugs at moderate distances. The key to achieving better accuracy is ensuring the slug is properly sized for the shotgun and using a suitable sighting system. For optimal performance, it's often recommended to use a rifled slug designed for smoothbore shotguns.
How accurate is a 12 ga slug?
depends on the slug, and on the shotgun. A smoothbore shotgun with rifled slugs can usually hold shots within a circle 3-5 inches in diameter at 100 yards
Can you shoot a smooth bore slug through a rifled barrel?
Shooting rifled slugs is the ONLY way to shoot thru a smoothbore for deer. If you shoot sabot slugs thru a smoothbore, it will not spin and therefore not be accurate. For accuracy, the slug must spin out of the barrel. Either shoot a rifled slug thru a smooth barrel, or shoot a saboted slug thru a rifled barrel.
What is the difference between smoothbore and rifled shotgun barrels?
A smoothbore is cheaper and works just as well when using regular shot. A rifled shotgun barrel only helps if you are going to be firing slugs, but if you are it improves performance considerably, giving the slug near-rifle accuracy. If you can afford it and plan to be using slugs the rifled barrel can be well worth it and gives you much more versitility.
What is a sabot slug?
A single, non-rifled projectile shot out of a rifled bore shotgun (specifically a slug gun).
What slug can you shoot through a rifled barreled shotgun?
Any non rifled slug. However for best perfomance you want a "saboted" slug.
Will sabot slugs shoot through a smooth bore barrel?
Yes. That's the only type of shotgun you should fire a sabot slug from. Rifled shotguns are intended for rifled slugs only. Actually, the opposite is true. Rifled slugs are preferred for smooth barreled shotguns. The 'rifling' on the slug is actually just fins that permit the slug to squeeze through the choke on the shotgun barrel. Sabot slugs are intended for rifled barrels, as they will give better accuracy. Some sabots may be used in smooth barrels, but you are paying more for sabots and not getting the accuracy you would get by using a sabot in a rifled barrel.
What diameter is a Winchester rifled slug?
Depends on what gauge the shotgun is.
Can you use a sabot slug in a 2200 series full choke Winchester shotgun?
no you cannot. sabot slugs are made for rifled barrels. I would buy a rifled slug barrel.
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.
Can a slug cartridge be fired through a rifeled barrel?
yes a rifled shotgun barrel or smooth shotgun barrel
