    Tin any ane tell me if information technology is ok (safe) to shoot rifled slugs from a total choak barrel, I was under the impression that yous cant and other people said that they heard u can.
  2. Is it a stock-still asphyxiate or screw in choke.
  3. a regular full choke information technology ok to shoot slugs through.

    an "extra-full" or turkey choke no.

  4. A standard full asphyxiate with standard lead slugs is safe. Don't matter if they are fixed chokes or interchangeable tubes. You probably won't become good accuracy. The new sabot slugs or solid copper, actually anything merely lead, should probably non be used in total asphyxiate guns.

    The actress total or super full tubes designed for turkey hunting are non meant for slugs.

    Well-nigh of the new sabot slug boxes are listed "for rifled barrels only"....the one-time BRI Law slugs would break in the middle when shot through full chokes.
  6. Yep I agree that sabots are for rifled barrels but. Good way to ruin a regular barrel for sure. Improved cylinder is the best to use, but full choke volition work as well. Every gun is different in regards to accuracy, so it's best to shoot information technology and come across what you have....regular rifled slugs, that is!

  7. I would take a slug out of a crush and try pushing it downward my barrel. If it slides through the choke, then go ahead and shoot it. If you can't push the slug through the asphyxiate, then I wouldn't shoot it.

    I tried it on a full choke in one case, and information technology wouldn't slide through no matter how hard I tried. And so what is information technology going to do to your butt if you lot just forcefulness information technology through by firing information technology?

  8. I have fired lead rifled slugs through the full asphyxiate on my 12ga, but equally mentioned accuracy hurts. Information technology would concord minute-of-deer at about 75 yards with total choke, but IC choke lets me become out about 150 yards.

    Today's regular saboted loads volition non ruin a smoothbore barrel.
    Accurateness volition vary with them, if no rifling present. Some volition keyhole, some won't.

    Pushing a slug downwardly a barrel to see if it'll clear the choke tells you exactly goose egg of whatever apply whatsoever. :)
    Foster slugs are hollow, the "rifling" is in that location to let them to swage downward in passing through a tight choke.
    Solid Brenneke slugs nevertheless swage downward.
    A sabot (the plastic "shoe" that contains a bullet) is compressible enough to too "swage" itself downwards sufficiently to pass through a asphyxiate.

    Accuracy may exist affected, as noted above, but it's perfectly safe to fire slugs of all three types through a choked bore from Total on down. I would not do it with annihilation tighter than Full, though.

  10. I've heard of guys splitting their barrels wide open from firing slugs through a full choke. Maybe that's just my experience, and you've had ameliorate luck. Simply once you hear something like that, you tend to stay on the condom side.;)

    I've never heard of everyone doing that, then peradventure we cancel each other out? :)
    Gotta exist more to the story, the ammomakers know some people will be shooting their slugs through a FULL asphyxiate, and if it was at all likely to accident upward any mod butt in good shape you lot tin can believe yous'd meet Alarm: DO Non USE IN FULL CHOKE printed prominently all over the packaging.

    May possibly take occured in Damascus barrels, or aftermarket screw-in chokes installed in relatively sparse-walled barrels. Gotta be something else going on besides just shooting a slug through a Full choke.
    I'd accept a hard time believing it otherwise.

  12. Firing total bore slugs through a full choke volition cause the asphyxiate to no longer exist 'full'.

    Doing and so should have no effect whatever on a modernistic FULL-choked butt in good shape, aside from the possible result with sparse walls with an aftermarket asphyxiate installed.
    The slug volition swage in before the barrel/asphyxiate will expand out.

  14. DPris has it correct.
    As long as the shotgun has a modern steel barrel, standard rifled slugs will work.
    The factories produce sabots to be used in rifled barrels, and mark them and so, but information technology's all for the sake of accuracy, not that they're unsafe. They volition funnel through a smooth bore just fine, but normally suffer inaccuracy.
