I just recently got a 870 home defense 12 ga and was wanting to know if I can shoot rifled slugs out of it? The guy at my LGS made a comment to the effect that you can, it just has to be particular ones. I always thought you can shoot rifled slugs out of a smoothbore cylinder choked gun with no issues.

Sorry, I know it's a dumb question but I've never shot slugs before.

Thanks, Hellbent
