I have only tried one rifled choke. A Remington factory on an 11-87. It was a total waste of money. Accuracy was awful with several brands.

In my limited experience, rifled barrels would shoot almost any saboted slug reasonably well.

Really have to work on matching the right rifled slug to the right choke.

Good examples Mehavey. Now, to get an accurate judging could you repeat the tests with Improved Cylinder and Modified chokes?

Not to throw gasoline on the fire but I shoot 1oz rifled slugs through a rifled barrel regularly. Accuracy is about 1.5 MOA. In fact I have done it hundreds of times and never had a problem. A normal 8 round group at 100 yards has all holes touching. I use a 3X scope on a cantilever barrel on my 11/87.

They said lead would build up (it hasn't), they said the round would become unstable in flight (they are not) someone even said my gun might blow up (it hasn't). I do run a bore snake through the barrel after I am done shooting every time.

Why do I do it?

- Because I can
- Foster slugs are 50-75% cheaper than sabots
- Works for me

YMMV.

I don't think a rifled slug even makes contact with the rifling on a rifled shotgun barrel, they're slightly smaller than the bore diameter.
