foster slugs with a full-choke??
« on: August 20, 2008, 07:23:41 AM »
Anyone have any experience w/ this? I've heard both sides: some say the barrel is too constricting, that a slug will cause the barrel to open up slightly (thus ruining it.) Can a lead slug really do this to a steel barrel? Others say any choke will be okay. I have an older Stevens model 67 pump that I'm considering for deer.

Foster type slugs can be used with any choke  without doing any damage to the barrel. They shoot best thru the more open chokes ,however you may get reasonable accuracy  with the full choke. You should try different brands of slugs to see which shoots best in your gun.

That's right.  Sometimes you will even find that against all logic, a full choke barrel will shoot slugs very well.  The slug manufacturers would not sell a product that would damage guns, at least not without warnings to the fact.  Notice the warnings about using steel shot.
