Slugs

[apdanos]

Can slugs be shot through a non rifled barrel? If so which choke to use?

 

[Manimal]

yes, cylinder/open choke, use rifled slugs through a smooth bore but not through a rifled bore...use saboted slugs through rifled barrels.

The box says what choke to use on some slugs. I will have to look at which it says.

There are also rifled chokes, but I don't think they do much.

Improved cyl. with a smoothbore works best for me. Cheap old Remington sluggers did the best. 2 3/4". The box with 1560 fps on it. Not the max dram eq. ones. Reminton 870 with a b-square scope mount. It really shoots well. Good for about 80 yards. Last year I had Tru glo sights on it. (like Turkey sights). Killed one at 60 yards and the slug went right where it was aimed. They do not run!!!!!!!!

gotta agree with you there cuz. bought a iron sight rifled barrel for my mossberg 500 and i shoot 3" remington rifled slugs (1800fps?) and do kill at 100 yds in my thick woods.
