RE: shooting slug with full choke?
 

Yes from what people have said on here they will be fine. Ive been told to not do it but others on here say its ok.

RE: shooting slug with full choke?
 

ya but if you had a nuclear bomb in front of you
and there was a red and green button

10 people say push the red one it will be OK 10 people say push the blue one

the company that made the bomb said to push neither
what do you do

RE: shooting slug with full choke?
 

Wellsince the bomb only has red andgreen buttons i dont know where they found ablue button to push but id listen to the company and not push any buttons.

:D:D:Doppps that might get someone killed

RE: shooting slug with full choke?
 

Yea it would prob be really bad.

RE: shooting slug with full choke?
 

Sounds like you really want to try it, so go for it. But don't blame anyone but your self if you mess it up. Just like I heard it's not a good idea to shoot buck shot through a rifled slug barrel, or was that steel shot?

RE: shooting slug with full choke?
 

The bore-size, pure soft lead Foster-type slugs can be shot from any commercially available choked smoothbore barrel, regardless of choke constriction. So can the original Brennekes. But accuracy usually depends on how deformed a slug gets going thru the choke - the tighter the choke, the worse the shoot. If you want accuracy, a cylinder bored barrel is better, one with rifle sights or scope mounting provisions.....

RE: shooting slug with full choke?
 

I would NOT shoot any type of slug except for Foster-types andBrennekes MADE for smoothbore barrels through a choked bore. The Fosters and the Brennekes are made of soft lead, and are designedto swage down to fit through any choke you can find in a factory-made gun, from Cylinder bore to Full....

People have been asking this question since choke boring of shotgun barrelsbegan in the middle 1800's.....

RE: shooting slug with full choke?
 

Neither one will hurt anything, the patterns just suck and there will be a hole in the middle because the shot will tend to spin as it leaves the barrel sometimes. I guess shooting a lot of steel shot out of a rifled barrel may wear it out eventually, but the hardness of the steel shot is no where near as hard as the barrel in your gun. And considering the price of steel shot and the amount you would have to shoot through it to ruin it you would have to be pretty stupid to keep doing it. Especially considering the poor performance you would get out of it. If you were dumb enough to run that much steel shot through a rifled barrel you deserve to ruin it in my opinion.;)

Buckshot won't do anything other than maybe lead the grooves up after some time. And it would shoot like crap as well because there is no choke in a rifled barrel.

I never have shot any steel or buckshot through my slug barrel, I have seen pics of barrels with nasty grooves down the bore, I wonder what made them.
