The Foster Slug, as loaded by major manufacturues for smoothbore shotguns, is tapered, with the only part that is (almost) full bore size at the rear. It is also hollowbased. That portion that is over the size of your choke swages down easily. The "rifling" also allows some room for lead to swage. Any smoothbore slugs that use a different construction, or that are made from anythiing but dead-soft lead, carry a warning on the box about shooting through choked guns.

The best slug shooting gun I have is an old J. C. Higgins with a fixed Full choke.
