Yes, by all means start you slug testing with an open bore (cyl., skeet, or imp. cyl.) not full nor modified. Slugs are't really "rifled" -- they have ribs, straight or pitched, that reduce barrel friction and aid compressive deformation at the muzzle.
What no one has mentioned thus far: What is your indented shooting environment? I assume you're going with slugs because rifles aren't allowed. To me, it usually means areas where dense concealment causes a safety concern with the increased range of a rifle -- but, this isn't always the case. Are you shooting near home, or is this going to be a new area for you? If a new area, may I recommend seeking the advice of locals. Contact a LGS or guide, in the area, and ask what are the more popular smooth bore slugs. There's no use busting your hump to get your shotgun to slug-drive tacks at 100-yards if the local environment presents 40-yard maximum shots.
