Ok, good feedback. Actually, i went out and looked at my friends barrel and it is a rem short slug barrel, it is not rifled as he told me. It has rifle sights which was probably what made him think the barrel was rifled. Also, the 40 pellets I got with him gun was with duplex shot, 2x6, so I'm not sure how that changes the 80-100 pellet rule, maybe not at all. Mine was shot with #5 3 inch shells.
