Hey /k/, Im also new to shotguns, just got a Remington 870. I also bought rifled slugs, and someone told me I shouldnt shoot them through a smooth bore barrel. I tried googling it but everyone seems to have a different answer. Should I use a type of choke on it? It came with two, one that says IMP CYL and another that says Full Steel Or Lead.

All I want to do is shoot slugs and shitboy target shot without having to change things in the field. Please help?

>pic related. Me and my bitch.

No choke with slugs. No need, and full choke could give you some real problems. You could possibly use modified choke, but improved cylinder bore or cylinder bore (basically zero choke) are preferred.

Rifled slugs are fine in a smoothbore barrel (that's in fact what rifled slugs are made for.) Sabots are okay in a smoothbore but cost accuracy.

Sabot slugs only (not rifled) in a rifled barrel.

In some limited circumstances, you can shoot rifled slugs in a rifled barrel, but (unless your rifling and the slug are compatible and the manufacturer recommends it) you'll cause unnecessary wear to the barrel.

Rule of thumb with barrels and slugs is that one OR the other should be rifled, unless you have a well-paired rifled barrel and ammo that both manufacturers give the OK on.

You can shoot slugs though a choke. The little grooves on the slug itself are meant so it can squeeze through a choke; not act as "rifling"
