Shooting slugs in my shotgun


MSL30

Recommended Posts

Newbie question here that I have not been able to find an answer to. I have a Mossberg 500A 12ga and a Saiga 12ga and would like to try shooting some slugs through them.

What type of slugs can I shoot in these? Both have a smooth bore barrel and no chokes.

Thanks for your help,

Michael

First you can shoot any type of slug in your guns but you would be best off with the plain old Foster type slug .The sabot type slugs are designed for the rifled barrels.

Exactly...

Any kind of "rifled" slug is what you want from smooth bore.

Plus, those are generally considerably cheaper than "sabot" slugs.

The boring old Foster slugs from Winchester, Remington, etc. seem to do just fine for me in about any smoothbore I've tried them in. In fact, they can be amazingly accurate considering the absence of rifling.

Remington 2-3/4" Sluggers are extremely accurate (only tested at 50 yards) out of my 20" smooth bore 870, and my Saiga 12.
