For a rifled BARREL however, you use what are called "Sabot" slugs.
Sabots are smooth. Rifled are, well, obviously, rifled.
Again, Rifled Slugs in smooth barrels, and Sabot Slugs for rifled barrels.

You might try to find some Federal Tru-ball slugs. They're kinda new and heard about them when I was doing research on sabot slugs. It's still designed for smoothbores but brings a new design to the table.

The Tru balls are awesome. That’s all I shoot through my smooth bore and I get excellent groups. I will say this; they seem to have a little more kick than others I’ve tried. I shoot the 2 ¾ and that’s plenty.

I would have to tell you to shoot sabot slugs and rifled slugs both and see how they react to your gun. When it comes to slugs every gun "picks it's own." Buy several brands and sizes try them all.

He would destroy his barrel if he did what you suggested!
