Modified will probably give the best accuracy with rifled slugs.
if it has a choke like poly and or screw in choke dont shoot slugs as it can dammage it
It is not recommended to shoot slugs with a power pack chock on a JC Higgins model.
Can you Yes, should you NO. a full choke should not be used to shoot slugs.
yes u can, open the choke all the way open or it will crack or may even blow apart the screw on choke. but shooting slugs with it fully opened up should shoot slugs real well
Slugs in Goose gun? Not a good idea to shoot Foster slugs in full choke, although it can be done safely, accuracy will suffer. That's Foster slugs only! Remington and Winchester.It's better to have a screw-in choke system installed, then you can use an open choke tube for slugs. Try Johnny's chokes:www.angelfire.com/ok2/shotgunchokes/index.html
Depends on the choke. MOST chokes, including full choke, can safely fire slugs. Some makers of adjustable chokes recommend that slugs NOT be fired thru their chokes. A very few chokes, such as the Extra Full chokes used on some turkey guns should not be used for slugs.
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.
NO!! A choke makes slugs dangerous. DO NOT fire slugs through ANY choke, ever. The life you save may be your own.
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.
Yes. Rifled slugs are intended for smoothbore barrels (abot slugs aer for RIFLED barrels). Best accuracy with rifled slugs is USUALLY a modified choke, but can be safely fired thru any choke less than EXTRA full choke.
Yes, it is, but make sure you shoot foster style slugs. They are easier to force (swage) through the choke, and are designed for smoothbore shotguns. I like the Remington managed recoil slugs. A 1 oz. slug coming out at around 1250 fps is nothing to sneeze at, and they're very comfortable to shoot. If bears are your concern, however, I might go with something with a higher velocity.
No. It is unsafe to shoot slugs in a shotgun with a full choke. A full choke shotgun may not allow the slug to pass through and could injure the gun and the shooter. Slugs will work fine in ANY shotgun that has a cylinder, improved cylinder, or modified cylinder choke. If you happen to have a shotgun with crew in chokes, it will be easy to switch chokes. Most slugs that people use are the foster- type slugs. These slugs feature a hollow base and are made of softer lead and are found at most stores. They are made by Remington, Winchester, and Federal. These slugs are more forgiving as they can sometimes squeeze through a tighter choke. Slugs like those from Brenneke and Dixie slugs are made of harden lead and are less forgiving. These slugs are safest used in shotguns that have cylinder or improved cylinder chokes.
