Default RE: benneli smooth bore barrel + buckshot question...

ok guys. thanks so much for the help. so i conclude that its alright to use 00 buck on a deer with the smooth bore, but not over 40 yards. also, am i correct when i conclude that...
1. a slug can be shot out of the smooth barrel
2.only sabots must be shot out of a rifled barrel?
all these different bores and barrel and chokes confuse me, i like the simple 270. also.. either way, where i will be hunting the longest shot i will need to take would be probably 30 yards (hunting in pines) so the 00 buck will be alright correct? also, yes mine did come with different chokes but i have to find them b/c i never used them. can a slug be shot out of the barrel without a choke, or does a shotgun need a choke on it no matter what. sorry for these basic questions im just not used to using this shotgun and dont want to mame a deer or myself lol. thanks guys i really appreciate it.
