Pellets or slugs. shotguns usually shoot shot or pellets, but you can shoot slugs. in Indiana we use a shotgun to hunt deer and use shotgun slugs, better to use a barrel with no choke in it. cylinder bore preferred.
with the wingmaster barrel you can only shoot lead, but if you change the barrel to a slugster you can shoot slugs and buckshot, they also have a barrel for steel shot to.
Of coarse that's what slugs do :)
Slugs. You CAN shoot lead bird shot in a rifled barrel but it will not give you good or consistant patterns.
a slug is normally use in a shot gun and they are not rifled a gun with a rifled barrel should shoot a Shell that is the same caliber as the gun.
no slugs should on be shot thru a improved cylinder shotgun. if you shoot thru any other choke it can cause the barrel to split
Most shot guns can handle deer slugs.
You should check with the barrels manufacturer about it's ratings, but I've never seen a slug barrel that wouldn't handle lead slugs.If you're talking about using shot shells...Since shot is contained in a wad, it never actually touches the walls of the barrel as it travels down it. The shot won't damage the riffling in the barrel, but since a slug barrel doesn't have the same choke as a shot barrel, and the wad in a shot shell isn't designed to spin, the shot pattern is going to be messed up.It's not a good idea.
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.
Yes. Rifled slugs are intended to be fired through a smoothbore barrel. Sabot slugs are intended to be fired through rifled barrels.
You will need to have it examined by a good gunsmith.
Yes
