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.

Can you shoot a rifled slug through a smooth bore barrel with a smooth choke tube on the end?

Rifled slugs are made of soft lead purposely for use in smooth bore shotguns. Actually the "rifling" on the slug deforms to allow the slug to pass through the choke in the bore. If your firearm is of modern manufacture and in good condition it should be safe. Of course it goes without saying that you must use the appropriate type (i.e 2-3/4", 3", etc.) and gauge (410, 20, 12 etc.) of ammunition for which your firearn was designed. If in doubt, have a reputable gunsmith check it out for you.
