  1. I'm a bit surprised as my experience when using a rifled slug with a rifled barrel or choke is problematic. Given that the rifling tends to compete with each other and puts unpredictable spin on the slug. Maybe it will show up at 100yards. I always use a non rifled slug when using a rifle barrel or rifled choke tube. Just my observations and experience. But maybe at 50 or less yards its not big deal.

  2. you can always "walk" a group into the ideal target placement but you first need to find the projectile the weapon "likes" to give the tightest group. This applies to firearms as well as archery although the latter is more difficult to achieve with lower powered equipment.

  3. So with the barrel heating up, that might open up your group. I would like to see just 2 round shots, wait to cool, then 2 more. I would do it like that because you will be lucky to get off just one extra shot on a deer, and I care more about cold bore accuracy, awesome video though. I'm talking about the smooth bore group though, it might be more finicky.

  4. a lot of the time, it's not that people struggle with basic things – rather, it's they've not had the opportunity in life to experience logic and reason in every day life.

  5. Good stuff man ! Was looking for exactly what you posted. Got a regular ol smooth bore shotgun that I bought a Carlson rifled choke tube so I could shoot some special ammo I had and thought that rifled slugs should do good by it too. Then started reading all my boxes of rifled slugs and none of them said that a rifled choke tube is what they need. Figured that has to be wrong …and your video proves just that ! Can’t wait to go shoot mine and see how much better it shoots 🤞🍀

  6. Funny (odd) that we’d shoot rifled slugs through a rifled choke tube.
    Are the groups similar shooting slugs (non rifled) through the rifled choke tube?
    I shoot a Savage 212 rifled shotgun with sabot slugs (Hornady), but I have a smooth bore Beretta that I could put a rifled choke on.

  7. What an excellent video. I've never had a scoped shotgun. I've always set them up as multipurpose. I did not know about rifled chokes until today. That is some excellent shooting. You would be very sub moa with a proper rifle shooting that well. That is a real nice lawn. I grew up maintaining a lawn similar to that. I understand how it takes a full day every week to keep it that way. Now that I live in the high desert, I will never see a lawn like that again. Leaves more time for fishing.
