Choke question regarding slugs

[sadiesassy]

I have used my Remington 1187 with different choke combinations.

I was looking at slugs the other day.

Do you use a cylinder bore with slugs?

Or somethiong esle?

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't use slugs with a full choke, anything else ought to be ok

Modern slugs fit thru a full choke just fine. Now wither a cylinder, modified, of full choke will give you better accuracy with your slugs, that's a question you'll have to experiment and discover yourself.

Here is two slugs plus some number 4 buck I shot thru a full choke. No damage to the shotgun at all.

Do you have a manual to look at? Just to be safe.

Most ammunition manufacturers will tell you to use an improved cylinder or cylinder choke when shooting rifled slugs, and a rifled IC choke tube or fully rifled barrel when shooting sabot slugs. Each gun is different, test it out like HALMBARTE suggested, your gun will tell you what it likes.

I checked and you were right shoot them out of any choke, I was erring on the side of safety.

I (my shotgun) likes Cyl for slugs.

Thanks for asking this. I have only shot rifled slugs through a straight "home defense" barrel, but I had read that they should be okay through a choked barrel. Now I need to compare accuracy. I have a rifled barrel for hunting with sabots, but rifled slugs through a bird barrel offer more options (the option to also use shot), and I have several boxes of rifled slugs to play with.
