12ga slug howto?
I have a Mossberg Model 88 12ga. with a modified choke. I would like to shoot some slugs through it at some hogs. WOHOO!!!
As this is my first weapon - I have no idea what, if any, changes I have to make to it. Do I need to change to a full choke and that's it? Or will the modified be ok? Will a slug damage the barrel? etc. etc.
I don't think a rifled barrel will be necessary because it's going to be up-close hog slammin'. I took my son squirrel hunting this weekend and we walked up a creek bed with oaks on the side. Around one corner was a hog that scared the heck outa both us us when he squeeled and ran. Too bad a .22LR and #7 1/2 wouldn't have brought him down. :-)
Thanx...
