I know a lot of guys don't shotgun hunt here, but you all have lots of info about everything. Here's my question, and this may seem like a dumb one, but does it hurt a rifled barrel to shoot rifled slugs through it? I had one buddy swear to me you were supposed to shoot rifled slugs through a rifled barrel. I told him he was freakin nuts, but does it work? My theory would be sabots would be like throwing a knuckelball out of a smooth bore , that's why you need the rifled barrel to spin em. Rifled slugs through a smooth bore would spin themselves. What happens with rifled slugs through rifled barrel. Would they cancel eachother out. would the slug ruin the barrel? Help a brother out!
