ok well if you get a slug gun and its barrle is fully rifled you can only shoot slugs and you want to shoot sabots with fully rifled barrles, now with a normal smooth bore shotgun you would normally shoot rifled slugs and buckshot, DONT SHOOT BUCK SHOT IN THE FULLY RIFLED BARRLE it will ruin the rifling, and yes the SXS and over and under shotgun are better for birds but i am sure you could shoot slugs if there choke is right.
This is generally correct, but as for shooting slugs from a double barrel, it will probably not work out well. Double shotguns have their barels regulated, if at all, to shoot the centers of their shot patterns close to where the bead points when you look along the rib. Some are close, others aren't! And when you shoot a single, solid projectile (slug) out of an SXSdouble, the chances are that the two will strike "miles apart". When firing the same slugs out of an O/U double, it is probablethat one will strike pretty far from the other in elevation. Usually the under barrel shoots above the top barrel. The 20-ga. Charles Daly (Miroku) I had once shot the top barrel dead-on at 50 yards, and the under barrel struck center at 100 yards! Not too bad a setup!
