Shooting slugs through a non-slug barrel
« on: October 20, 2005, 07:22:37 AM »
I will be doing some deer hunting in a shotgun-only area this fall and don't want to spend the extra money right now for a slug barrel for my Remington 11-87.  I already have adjustable sights on the 28" ventilated-rib barrel for turkey hunting, so my question is whether shooting slugs through a bird barrel will do harm to it?  I have heard some say that it will.  Opinions will be appreciated!!

The foster slug was invented in the 30's. For decades, it was slung from bird guns of all varieties. There should not be a safety problem with a tight choke, possibly just a accuracy issue. My dad's A-5 smacks clay birds on the birm at 70 yards :wink:
