Choosing the Right Barrel for Rifled Slugs: A Comprehensive Guide

A fully rifled barrel is required to shoot rifled slugs. Rifled slugs have a sabot that is designed to engage the rifling in the barrel, which helps to stabilize the slug and improve accuracy. Smoothbore barrels are not suitable for shooting rifled slugs, as the sabot will not engage the smooth bore and the slug will not be stabilized, resulting in poor accuracy.
