I don't have a rifled barrel can i still shot a rifled slug threw it ? I am new to the slug world sorry for the dumb question .
There are no dumb questions, just dumb people. JK.

Can you shoot? Yes. Should you? Probably not. Your barrel has rifling and shooting a standard lead slug through it will probably fill the rifling with that soft lead. Even a copper slug would leave behind much in the rifling.

There's much debate as to whether or not "rifled" slugs actually spin out of a shotgun. (Maybe it's not so much debate, given modern high speed cameras and such, but perhaps I should say I'm ignorant of who won the debate that used to go on.)

A rifled shotgun barrel can be really accurate but you must use the expensive sabot slugs to achieve that.

So just what the other guy said:

Old school rifled slugs for old school smooth barrels

New school sabot slugs for new school rifled barrels
