There is no choke for a shotgun "slug", however if you are firing slugs from your shotgun you should get a slug barrel, or cantilever barrel if your shotgun can alternate barrels. If your shotgun cannot do that then you must purchase an alternate gun that is for slugs or get a shotgun that can alternate barrels like i said. If you want to shoot accurately. Technically otherwise you aren't supposed to fire a slug from a field barrel and in some states it is illegal because of the inaccuracy it may wound a deer. ----- For many many years it has been recommended that a cylinder choke or an improved cylinder choke in a smoothbore shotgun barrel is best for slug accuracy. It is not recommended that one fire slugs through full chokes. --230RN

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoimproved ,or open,no choke,unless you've got one for slugs,or take a slug out of the cartrige,and measure it,and the bore,to make sure it has room to come out,gotta be smaller than the bore!!

∙ 14y agoSlugs shoot best out of cylinder bore or improved cylinder. They will usually not be as accurate out of tightly choked barrels, and may actually damage the choked portion.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoModified frequently gives the best accuracy, but you can use any standard choke. No Extra Full chokes. Rifled slugs use a smoothbore- Sabot slugs a rifled barrel.

What screw in choke used for slugs?
Modified will probably give the best accuracy with rifled slugs.
Can you shoot a shotgun without choke tube in?
Yes. Rifled slugs are intended for smoothbore barrels (abot slugs aer for RIFLED barrels). Best accuracy with rifled slugs is USUALLY a modified choke, but can be safely fired thru any choke less than EXTRA full choke.
Can a rifled shot gun slug be shot in a smooth bore shot gun?
Rifled slugs are actually INTENDED for smoothbore shotguns. Sabot slugs are intended for rifled shotguns. Performance will vary from gun to gun, but Modified choke seems to give the best accuracy with rifled slugs for many shotguns.
Will a Remington 1100 shoot a slug?
rifled choke tubes for sabot slugs and cylinder or improved cylinder choke tube for foster type slugs. you can shoot slugs with semi-auto. experiment to find what cycles the best without jamming.
Can you shoot a rifled slug through a rifled barrel?
Rifled Slugs are meant for smooth bore barrels mainly. The rifled slug is made of lead and so if you shoot it through a rifled barrel the lead touching the rifling will cause some of the lead to peal off and can build up over a very short period of time. Also the facft that you are shooting a rifled slug through a rifled barrel would cause the bullet to become extremely unstable and inaccurate. Rifle barrel sare meant for sabot slugs (slugs with a plastic wad surrounding the outside). You should eb good though to shoot a rifled slug out of your barrel with a mod choke tube, but smooth bore deer barrels are ideal.M.I.
What is the best choke for shooting slugs in a benelli nova?
Usually modified, but each shotgun may be a bit different.
Do you have to shoot sabot slugs through a rifled slug barrel?
In general, rifled slugs are intended to go through a smooth bore. The twist rates of a rifled slug against a rifled barrel may not agree. If you were trying to get the best out of your rifled barrel I would think that going to a saboted slug would give better performance.
Best ammo for rifled shot gun?
Slugs! If its rifled it is a deer hunting barrel.
What is the best choke for rifled slugs?
Improved-cylinder, or skeet barrel. "Modified or full-choke barrels (in any make gun) simply will not shoot slugs or buckshot as well as the more open chokes." --Edward A. Matunas; "Deer Hunter's Guide to Guns, Ammo and Equipment", 1983
Can you shoot a slug out of a 20 gauge poly choked barrel?
Let's be logical about this. Is an ammo manufacturer going to make something that is going to make your barrel explode if you forget to put the right choke tube in? Probably not...My dad had a Savage-Stevens single shot 16ga. with a full choke (back in the day when there weren't choke tubes) that he fired "Foster style" slugs through frequently. The barrel never exploded and the gun is still in good condition today.I learned to wing-shoot with it and witnessed deadly accurate slug placement at 50 yards.Let's look at the facts.1. There are different kinds of slugs and different kinds of barrels.2. Don't shoot your shotgun with the choke tube removed, unless you want to risk damaging the threads.3. Slugs are NOT the same diameter as the bore. For "Foster style" slugs, the ones typically called "rifled slugs" like the Remington Sluggers are best fired through an Improved Cylinder choke (slightly smaller that the bore). If you don't believe me...READ THE BOX. "Rifled slugs may be fired through any choke; however, improved cylinder provides best results. These slugs will also perform well in fully rifled barrels and barrels fitted with rifled choke tubes" (Remington Slugger box).4. Sabot slugs are designed to be fired through a rifled slug barrel. They should not be fired through anything else or they may fly like a football thrown without any "spiral". Having that slug just tumbling through the air...not good.5. There are some slugs designed for either rifled or smooth. Rottweil-Brenneke makes such slugs, which I have used personally in both rifled and smooth barrels with success. "The choke does not have a significant effect on the precision of this cartridge; it can therefore be used for all popular shotguns"Note: The makers of some of the early variable chokes (Mossberg's C-Lect-Choke for one) did not reccomend shooting slugs through them- the choke consisted of small steel "fingers" that could be damaged. Modern choke tubes are made differently, and should be fine.
How effective is a 32 inch barrel for slugs on a 12 gauge Browning Auto-5 and what is the best slug length to use?
Please dont shoot slugs through a 32" barrel A5. That is undoubtedly a full choke and shooting slugs through it can damage that barrel, which by itself is worth $300. Slug barrels are typically 24" in length with an Improved Cylinder choke.
What ammo is best for the 870 scope barrel combo?
Assuming you mean the Remington 870 shotgun, with a scope- is your barrel rifled? If so, sabot slugs are generally the most accurate. If smoothbore, then rifled slugs will be most accurate.
