    Default Can I fire slugs through my Super Sport?

    Greetings,

    I just bought a new Super Sport. I'm relatively new to shotguns and Benelli.

    Can I fire slugs through this gun? Which of the chokes that came with it would I use? Which slugs will NOT work?

    many thanks,
    jason

    Yes, you can fire slugs through it.
    IC or Skeet chokes with slugs designed for smoothbore barrels only.
    You can also buy aftermarket slug chokes.

    Thanks, so the ones that say "rifled slugs" would damage the barrel/choke?

    Rifled slugs are designed for smoothbores.
    The slug is rifled, instead of the barrel, to impart spin to stabilize the projectile.

    ok, so let me get this straight, "rifled slugs" are for smooth bored barrels, like my Benelli.

    "Slugs" are for rifled barrels, right? So I should always buy rifled slugs for this gun?
