Can you shoot a rifled slug through a rifled barrel?

Answer 1

Rifled Slugs are meant for smooth bore barrels mainly. The rifled slug is made of lead and so if you shoot it through a rifled barrel the lead touching the rifling will cause some of the lead to peal off and can build up over a very short period of time. Also the facft that you are shooting a rifled slug through a rifled barrel would cause the bullet to become extremely unstable and inaccurate. Rifle barrel sare meant for sabot slugs (slugs with a plastic wad surrounding the outside). You should eb good though to shoot a rifled slug out of your barrel with a mod choke tube, but smooth bore deer barrels are ideal.

Answer 2

Unless your barrel has been fitted with a poly-choke (adjustable by turning) there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to shoot rifled slugs in your Model 10 Remington shotgun. Don't expect to see tack-driving accuracy with so-called rifled slugs though. Start out shooting at paper plates from 50 yards as you'll need to find out where to hold the front bead in relation to the target (paper plate).

Answer 3

You probably could, but if you were trying to get the best out of your rifled barrel I would think that going to a saboted slug would give better performance.

In general, rifled slugs are intended to go through a smooth bore and the twist rates of a rifled slug against a rifled barrel may not agree.

Answer 4

Rifled slugs can be shot however the rifling on the slug can grind off and fill in the rifling in the barrel. A normal slug or a saboted is best

Answer 5

You can but it won't be as accurate as a rifled slug It will tumble instead of spin

Answer 6

Yes, but they are usually more accurate from a slug barrel or improved cylinder.

Answer 7

As long as the barrel choke is "NOT" a screw-in style choke tube............YES slugs can be shot through the barrel.

Answer 8

no because it would/might break

Answer 9

Yes
