What else can I help you with?
Can rifled slugs be shot through a smooth bore barrel?
Yes
Can you shoot slugs in a 835 mossberg?
No. The 835 standard barrel is a backbored, oversized tube that the slug can get wedged sideways in. It's NOT safe to fire slugs of any type through it. They may work a few times....but there will come a time when it won't and it won't be pretty. You can, however, switch the 835 barrel out for a 590a1 5+1 shot (six shot, NOT a nine shot!) barrel and fire slugs through it.
Can you fire a slug from a standard Winchester model 1200 barrel?
Yes. Slug barrels have a different "Choke" then shot barrels that make them more accurate when firing slugs, but you can fire slugs with a stock 1200 barrel.
Can magnum slugs be shot out of a smooth bore barrel?
Of coarse that's what slugs do :)
Can a Stevens double barrel 20 gauge side by side shot gun shoot slugs without damaging the barrel?
Most shot guns can handle deer slugs.
Can you shoot rifled slugs through a Mossberg 535ats 12 gauge shot gun?
Depends on what the barrel is choked.
What can you shoot through a Remington 870 tb wingmaster shotgun can you shoot steel or slugs or just lead?
with the wingmaster barrel you can only shoot lead, but if you change the barrel to a slugster you can shoot slugs and buckshot, they also have a barrel for steel shot to.
Can you use slugs in a double barrel shot gun?
You can shoot slugs in a double. Slugs are best shot through a cylinder bore or improved cylinder choke. The tighter the choke, the more they will be disrupted. There is risk of excessive wear and damage through a tight choke--tighter than Modified Choke.
Best ammo for rifled shot gun?
Slugs! If its rifled it is a deer hunting barrel.
Do shotguns need chokes?
It is possible to fire a shotgun without a choke, but it is highly not reccomended, and they don't cost that much If you select a barrel with no choke (cylinder) it will cause the pattern to be looser than for a barrel of a shotgun that has a tighter choke. The extreme is "full choke" which keeps a tight pattern out to the effective range. Full choke is typically used for waterfowl. A shotgun that is pressed into double duty (shot for small game and slugs for big game) would work well to have modified choke. Slugs have to be designed to fire through a full choke without blowing the barrel but you will certainly shorten the life of the barrel by firing slugs through a choked barrel. If you can afford an extra barrel, then use a cylinder (no choke) for slugs. Remington and other shotgun manufacturers have interchangeable choke tubes (see link) that allow you to screw in the appropriate choke for your quarry.
Can you shoot a fully rifled slug through a modified barrel?
no slugs should on be shot thru a improved cylinder shotgun. if you shoot thru any other choke it can cause the barrel to split
Will it harm a rifled barrel to fire buckshot through it?
I have no personal experience with this. What follows is information from a reputable local gun dealer. Rifled barrels are designed primarily for use with sabot slugs. Buckshot will not harm a rifled barrel because in the barrel, the plastic wadding holding the shot together will be the only portion of the projectile(s) in contact with the barrel. Firing rifled lead slugs will lead to difficult (nearly impossible) to clean out accumulations of lead in the barrel & negate the rifling because the rifling of the slug & the rifling of the barrel will not match up.
