Depends on how old the shotgun is.
What is a deer barrel on a shotgun?
In short, it is a barrel designed to fire slugs. Some are smooth bore which are intended to shoot rifled slugs or buckshot, while others are rifled and intended for shooting sabot slugs only. This is a very good and trusted answer. lcj
Can you shoot a smooth bore slug through a rifled barrel?
Shooting rifled slugs is the ONLY way to shoot thru a smoothbore for deer. If you shoot sabot slugs thru a smoothbore, it will not spin and therefore not be accurate. For accuracy, the slug must spin out of the barrel. Either shoot a rifled slug thru a smooth barrel, or shoot a saboted slug thru a rifled barrel.
Will sabot slugs shoot through a smooth bore barrel?
Yes. That's the only type of shotgun you should fire a sabot slug from. Rifled shotguns are intended for rifled slugs only. Actually, the opposite is true. Rifled slugs are preferred for smooth barreled shotguns. The 'rifling' on the slug is actually just fins that permit the slug to squeeze through the choke on the shotgun barrel. Sabot slugs are intended for rifled barrels, as they will give better accuracy. Some sabots may be used in smooth barrels, but you are paying more for sabots and not getting the accuracy you would get by using a sabot in a rifled barrel.
Can you shoot a sabot slug through a rifled barrel?
yes.
Wondering if you can shoot a 200 and 50 grain rifle tip slug through your mossberg 500 will it damage your barrel it has the accu chock?
NEVER FIRE AMMUNITON IN A WEAPON NOT DESINGED FOR IT!!!!!!!!! In a shotgun, you fire shotgun slugs or shotshells, NOT rifle projectiles (unless using a sabot) In the case of a sabot, you MUST contact the Mossberg.
Can you shoot a slug out of a regular shotgun?
Yes and no. The yes comes from simple fact, if the projectile can move down the barrel, it can be fired. I've seen .221 Fireballs fired out of a 7TCU barrel. The no is because you cannot do it well. In effect, if you shoot a slug down a smooth bore shotgun barrel, you will have little in the way of accuracy. Slugs should be shot from a slug barrel, and shot from a smooth bore.
Will a Winchester 1300 with stock barrel shoot Remington copper solid sabot slugs?
Yes
Will firing Bri Sabot Slugs through a rifled slug barrel damage it?
Sabot slugs are made for rifled barrels. Using regular slugs and rifled slugs over time will deposit lead in the rifling grooves inside the barrel gradually hurting your accuracy. Using the sabot slugs greatly improves accuracy making it possible to shoot accurately at 100 yards. It makes your shotgun into a rifle in a way. Hope this helps.
What is the Best slugs to use in smooth barrel shotguns?
