Can you shoot shot pellets from a fully rifled slug barrel?
You can, but manufacturers typically recommend that you do not. Shooting lead pellets will be less damaging and would require alot of shooting to cause any serious damage. Shooting steel or tungsten, however, will cause significant damage in a short amount of time. A smooth barrel will handle pellets, buckshot, sabotted slugs or standard slugs. A rifled barrel should be used for sabots and slugs only.
Will firing lead shot through a rifled slug barrel cause damage to the slug barrel and if so how?
Firing lead shot through a slug barrel will not damage the barrel. The rifling will distort the shot pattern and you will get less than desireable results.
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.
Can you shoot a rifled slug through a rifled barrel?
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.M.I.
What are smooth bores?
Smooth bores are bores or barrels in guns that do not contain rifling. Rifling is made up of lands and grooves that cause the bullet to turn within the barrel of the gun. This turning gives the bullet and gun its accuracy. A smooth bore gun is much less accurate than a rifled bore gun.

Are shotgun barrels rifled?
Shotguns are smooth bored firearms, for the most part. Rifled slug barrels are available. For most of them the answer is no as they are scatter guns. meaning they are meant to hit a large area at short range. They have no real use for accuracy due to the scatter and it would be both pointless and impossible to cause the shotgun pellets to rotate.
How are bullet striations created?
Where a bullet is pushed through the barrel of a rifled firearm, spiralgrooves cut into the inside of the barrel (rifling) cause the bullet to spin. This provides for better accuracy- and at the same time, makes marks (striations) on the bullet. A shotgun does not have those grooves, and does not produce striations on the projectile.
Does writing on a bullet cartridge with a sharpie cause damage to the gun when fired?
No it does not. It may flake off and get onto your barrel but as long as you clean your gun as you should there will be no damage done.
