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.
Depends on the ammunition. Rifled 12 gauge slugs are accurate to about 150 yards
probably not, historicly shotguns are smoothbore if you shoot a slug, THAT would be rifled.
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
