New to shotguns
OK, not going to ask the Ford or Chevy question. Mine is, can I shoot a deer slug through a non rifled barrel? If so, will there be any problems with regular shells afterwards?

OK, I think I got it now. Deer slugs in a smooth bore, are good to go.

It's simple; if the slug is rifled shoot it through a smooth bore, if the slug is not rifled shoot it through a rifled barrel.
A picture is worth a thousand words: Shoot through rifled barrel: Shoot through smooth-bore barrel: Phillip |

Yep, previous poster says with pictures what you can also say with words - ONLY one set of rifling EITHER on the bore or the slug.
