you can shoot slugs through a smooth bore with no problems except hitting the target that is 

[EleventhHourEmpire]

@cbr6864 yeah cuz it will just shoot out to the side right? the rifled barrel puts a spin on it and keeps it straight?

[cbr6864]

@EleventhHourEmpire im guessing your trying to be a smart ass. only certain slugs "must" be shot from a rifled barrel. if you shot a slug from a smooth bore the slug will tumble.

[EleventhHourEmpire]

@cbr6864 I don't get what you're saying. I'm saying you need a rifled barrel to fire slugs, because the grooves inside the barrel will make the slug spin forcing it to fly straight. If you have a regular barrel the slug just shoots out crazy like when you don't know how to throw a football.

@EleventhHourEmpire and the guys at cabelas didn't tell me that when I purchased the slugs along with my shotgun, they knew it wasn't rifled, but they let me buy the slugs anyways.

Long ass barrel.

@stangsaleens7 Then you haven't used Brenneke rifled slug bear killers. They will literally chop logs in half and are 2 inch accurate in my M1014 up to about 100 yards.

Not as accurate as my AR15 but they will kill any creature that walks the planet.

Like I said before you can use sabots but you sacrifice accuracy, pay over twice as much per round and honestly Brenneke 3 inch bear slugs are the strongest slug on the planet as far as what Ive shot.

I've shot lots of sabots...

[stangsaleens7]

@wtfdudenotcool101 Sabot rounds also pack a bigger punch... Im not saying thats what everyone should be using but its a option... And my rifled choke tube from winchester says its for sabot rounds only. There for i use sabot rounds, plus alot of people tell me they are much better.

[wtfdudenotcool101]

@stangsaleens7 You lose alot of accuracy and pay more than twice as much for ammo and possibly damage your barrel if you're using an older shotgun.

What's the point again?

I can get 2 inch groups with my rifled slugs at 75 yards. That would increase to about 7 with sabots and maybe come back down to 5 with a rifled choke.

Not worth it in my opinion.

[liftedreds10]

you should get a shorter barrel

[stangsaleens7]

@wtfdudenotcool101 sabot rounds can be used with a smoothbore barrel if you have a rifled choke.

proof that gun control laws need revision

[MrHoustonsk8er]

you dont need a rifled barrel as long as you have a modified or more open it will work just fine

[MarshallrN]

Ten bucks says this joker shot his buddy because that shit is loaded! Haha these guys........um...........suck. I hope they live on the eAst coast!

You do not need a rifled barrel to shoot foster type slugs...
