You can shoot a rifled slug out of a smooth bored barrels only. You want to have an improved or modified choke on when shooting a rifled slug. It helps the rotaion and accuracy of the slug. Never use a rifled slug in a rilfed barrel. You could destroy your gun if the rilfing in the gun and slug do not match. This is not a gamlbe I am willing to take with any of my guns.
I have used slugs in a model 300 without any problems. The gun will shoot high so you may need to add clamp-on sights to the vent rib. I did this and it is very accurate.
The correct answer is yes and contrary to the beliefs of some people you can even shoot a rifled slug thru a full choke without causing damage in fact a full choke can be more accurate.
Yes
You can, but, it will not be a good thing.
Yes, I don't think you should have a problem, but your pattern may not be consistent.
Yes, but, the results will be dismal at best.
Any non rifled slug. However for best perfomance you want a "saboted" slug.
Slugs. You CAN shoot lead bird shot in a rifled barrel but it will not give you good or consistant patterns.
no
a slug is normally use in a shot gun and they are not rifled a gun with a rifled barrel should shoot a Shell that is the same caliber as the gun.
probably not, historicly shotguns are smoothbore if you shoot a slug, THAT would be rifled.
Depends on the ammunition. Rifled 12 gauge slugs are accurate to about 150 yards
In the hands of a skilled hunter, they could be used to shoot birds and small animals. Even deer, if loaded with rifled slugs. Some people used them for self-defense.
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.
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
