Forgive my shotgun ignorance, but would shooting those out of a home defense type gun (no choke?) make any sense at all?
I guess I should try it and answer my own question [:D].
I remember shooting a few as a kid out of an old gun that said "full choke" on the barrel. That seems dangerous to me now, but I know little about shotguns, so... maybe it's not.0 -
Cylinder Bore is generally best with most Foster Type Slugs.Probably true with Sabot's also.

you can get better acuracy by switching to afully rifled barrel or buying a rifled choke tube or shoot what you have with a cylender choke tube
My old man's backhand used to land,
Hard on the side of my head.
I just learned to stay out of his way.
There's been streetfights, blue lights,
Long nights with the world sittin' on my chest:
It just showed me how much I could take.
Hard times, bad luck.
Sometimes, life sucks.
That's all right, I'm ok.
It ain't nothin' but another day.0 -
I use IC, and that's pretty much an accepted standard. You can use them in any choke (not well, and not for long in tight chokes), but avoid full at all costs. Happy shooting. 0 -
if it is a screw in choke model, there are rifled choke tubes. never tried 'em, but, like everything, some folks may have had good luck w/ them.i have heard that these may work better w/ the sabot variety slug as i understand these need a spin to work properly.in a fully rifled tube , sabot slugs are capable of amazing accuracy. easy to make your own...check out the lyman 4th ed shotshell handbook.ya don't need a lot of $ or stuff, an' if you are required to use a shotgun for deer anyway.........good luck w/ it all. 0
