Will any 12ga slug be safe to fire from my fixed choke (modified choke) barrel? I've heard stories about people using chokes that were too tight and cracking their barrel.

I was specifically considering the Brenneke K.O. Slug, 2-3/4" Shell, 1 oz., 1600 fps
Seems that a lot of people say they get the most accurate results from this brand, and (for now, due to cost) I won't be buying a whole bunch of different brands to compare, but will in the future before doing any hunting w/ slugs.
