Or do most Remington smoothbores prefer Winchester slugs. For hunting in the thick stuff where 50 yards is a long shot I might even put the smoothbore slug barrel back on my and go back to Winchester Fosters and save some money compared to the price of Sabots.

Dumb rookie question: Express Synthetic and slugs Post by kimon » Thu Dec 10, am I am a new owner of a brand new Express Synthetic and I want to make sure I can shoot slugs through it.
I believe I can but they have to be of the rifled kind. Have I understood this correctly? I've read through sites and manuals and blogs and forums and they all talk about different barrel types and chokes. My simple shotgun has what appears to me to be a smoothbore barrel and from what I can tell from the documentation, a fixed cylinder choke. If I've interpreted what I've read correctly, I can shoot rifled slugs without an issue. Any advice would be helpful I'm sure the answer is blatantly obvious, just not to me.
Re: Dumb rookie question: Express Synthetic and slugs Post by Chief Brody » Thu Dec 10, am Not a dumb rookie question, just a rookie question haha, we all start somewhere. You absolutely can shoot slugs through your cylinder choke barrel. A sabot slug is designed to be very accurate out of a rifled barrel. You can shoot them through your smoothbore, but it would be a waste of money - they won't reach their potential unless it's a rifled barrel. Buy a few different brands of rifled slugs and see how they run through your gun.
Be safe and have fun! Steve PS: I've found slugs do generally have the most recoil, so keep that in mind. You can find low-recoil versions, too. If you don't have a problem with it I don't , no worries. Just go for it. Let us speak courteously, deal fairly, and keep ourselves armed and ready. Re: Dumb rookie question: Express Synthetic and slugs Post by Synchronizor » Fri Dec 11, am Basically, a smoothbore barrel with a fixed cylinder choke can shoot any slugs safely.
Like Chief Brody said though, some will not work well. Shotgun slugs can be sorted into two major types: smoothbore slugs, and spin-stabilized slugs.
