I will be hunting with a Mossberg 695 and I want to take my wife with me and my 12 Ga Mossberg 500 w/ rifled barrel is too much gun for her.
My father has given me an old 16 Ga, bolt action shotgun with a full choke (forgive me for not having the name). What i was wondering was can slugs be shot through it and if so what type: fosters, rifled, sabots?
I have heard several different opinions about this: see links below from people who say yes you can.
Ulysses is correct...Spin is imparted to a rifled slug by friction to the barrel only...Gas leaking past a bullet/slug/wad is not a good thing and something that is engineered against in all cases...
