Alrighty guys. I have about 45 20 gauge rifled slugs. I have a mossberg 500 in 20 gauge. It has a screw in choke. I lost my modified and only have a full choke in it now. So shooting them out of my smoothbore is not really an option.

I just want to have fun and get rid of them shooting milk jugs at like 15-20 yards. I have a rifled barrel for it that i used and hated with sabots, tried lots of ammo and just couldnt get decent groups past 50 yards. I'm in a centerfire state so i never use slugs anyway.

My question is can i shoot rifled slugs out of a rifled barrel? im not worried about leading up the rifling or extreme accuracy. I got the barrel for free with the gun for $200 so im not worried about it. I just want to know if a rifled barrel will handle rifled slugs with out blowing up on me or what not. I see other people do it and actually get better groups with rifled instead of sabots out of there rifled barrels.

So safe or not?
