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.

Unless your barrel has been fitted with a poly-choke (adjustable by turning) there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to shoot rifled slugs in your Model 10 Remington shotgun. Don't expect to see tack-driving accuracy with so-called rifled slugs though. Start out shooting at paper plates from 50 yards as you'll need to find out where to hold the front bead in relation to the target (paper plate).
You probably could, but if you were trying to get the best out of your rifled barrel I would think that going to a saboted slug would give better performance.
In general, rifled slugs are intended to go through a smooth bore and the twist rates of a rifled slug against a rifled barrel may not agree.
Rifled slugs can be shot however the rifling on the slug can grind off and fill in the rifling in the barrel. A normal slug or a saboted is best
You can but it won't be as accurate as a rifled slug It will tumble instead of spin
Yes, but they are usually more accurate from a slug barrel or improved cylinder.
As long as the barrel choke is "NOT" a screw-in style choke tube............YES slugs can be shot through the barrel.
no because it would/might break

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 sabot slug through a rifled barrel?
yes.
Can you shoot a slug in a 28ga with full choke barrel?
A rifled slug- yes.
Do you have to shoot sabot slugs through a rifled slug barrel?
In general, rifled slugs are intended to go through a smooth bore. The twist rates of a rifled slug against a rifled barrel may not agree. If you were trying to get the best out of your rifled barrel I would think that going to a saboted slug would give better performance.
Is it true that shooting LEAD shot through a rifled slug barrel does NO harm to the slug barrel?
That is correct.
What slug can you shoot through a rifled barreled shotgun?
Any non rifled slug. However for best perfomance you want a "saboted" slug.
Can you shoot a non-rifled slug through a smooth-bore barrel and maintain decent accuracy and grouping at 25 yards or more?
NOPE. with out rifling, be it barrel or slug itself, there would be no spin on the slug. You would have minimal accuracy.
Can you shoot a fully rifled slug through a modified 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
What barrel do I use for rifled slugs?
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.
Can a rifled slug barrel shoot regular 12 gage?
Yes, but, it is an exercise without a point.
Can a slug cartridge be fired through a rifeled barrel?
yes a rifled shotgun barrel or smooth shotgun barrel
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.
