Slugs aren't the same as shot as we all know. Small amount of history from an old timer. Foster slugs were designed from the start to function in both choked and open choked guns. The hollow base will expand to the bore just like a Minie ball. The "rifling" was so the slug could swage down through the choke. For many years there was debate as to whether or not the rifling imparted spin, but Taofledermaus proved that it does provide some spin. Before Foster slugs we used "pumpkin balls" - round balls just like BP balls. These needed to be used in open choked guns. One guy I knew fired a pumpkin ball through his full choked gun, and he swore that after he quit rubbing his shoulder, his gun had become modified choke. Brenneke slugs state plainly that they should only be used in open choked guns, or at most IC choked guns. With rifled shotgun barrels, and interchangeable choke tubes there shouldn't ever be a problem. Thanks for this video. Good job.

You confirmed what I have been telling people for decades. I have been shooting foster slugs with my humpback Browning Auto 5 since I was a kid and have not damaged the barrel at all it still measures out at "FULL CHOKE," I shoot good consistent patterns and have never gotten any noticeable leading in the barrel. Over the decades I have fired hundreds of shells, the barrel is in good as new condition. Listen to Kirk Boswell what he says is 100% correct.

When you are shooting observe the front sight or have someone watch your muzzle for barrel flip. When your barrel recoils straight up the shot will be centered. Then the barrel flips too the left the shot goes to the left. Adjust your butt placement in your shoulder and your hold pressure until the barrel flips straight up. This will greatly improve your shooting. Review the video and see what i am talking about. When you put them in the bullseye the barrel doesnt flip to the left. It recoils straight back and up. Thankyou for the video. John Davis jax fl

Yeah, I noticed his barrel jumping to the left also. Probably because of 2 things. He's not holding the fore-end to keep the barrel steady throughout the shot, and the ejection on the right side probably adds push to the left as well.

Good call Dyl, Unless you are hunting in a area with very open cover a shotgun is just as good probably better. By far foster slugs have stopping power that most rifles can not match. The only thing more deadly is buckshot out to 50 or so yds. So If you are hunting in heavy cover use buckshot out to 50yds. use at least a modified choke full is even better. if you need a little extra distance use slugs.

Another option for those who have the older browning shotguns that came with a parallel type choke. The parallel design was developed by the English a long time ago. In effect the bore is constricted down to whatever the standard call for to make say a modified or say full choke. At this point the last portion, and inch or so, not sure of the dimensions? of the barrel is now runs parallel. Was pleasantly surprised when I purchased a Browning BPS in 1981. I got it with a modified choke. Thought I was going to have to buy a slug barrel eventually for deer hunting. Was told to test it. I did and boy was I pleasantly surprised. That thing shot at the time Winchester and Federal fosters with rifle like accuracy. Using only a bead I could put 3 shot groups the size of a coffee mug at 120 yards, I later got the exact same setup for my brother. Same degree of accuracy. A few years later I picked up a Browning B2000 with a full choke. Again phenomenal accuracy. Talked to another person who had Browning shotguns of that same vintage and he said they shotguns like rifles, regardless of the choke on the barrels. This was the period before screws in chokes. I’ve blasted bucks out to 120 with my rig

I did a similar experiment using a rifled barrel, a rifled choke and a modified choke all with 22"-24" barrels. The Carlson's rifled choke actually shot the best at 75 yards. The Mod choke shot a 3.5" group with Remington Slugger Foster Slugs, the rifled barrel shot a 4.25 group with Remington Slugger Foster Slugs and the Carlson's Rifled Choke shot a just under 3" group. I have Wilson Fire Select Vent Rib sights on my 22" barrel and the 24" rifled barrel had it's own sights dovetailed in the rear and a front post. Using Brenneke style slugs the rifled choke and the rifled barrel shot a similar group at about 3.5" at 75 yards, the mod choke shot a 4.5" group at the same distance.

Good video and I liked the choice of shotgun used because there are a lot of hunters out there that only own one shotgun and use it on everything from ducks to turkeys to deer. As far as I could tell, every one of those groups was a dead deer at 90 yards, and at around 50 yards (distance where most deer are killed) those would have been groups under 3". Plenty accurate.

My 12 gauge Remington 870 SP slug gun has 20" rifle sighted barrel , and choke tubes. It was sold as a multi purpose gun for big game and turkeys. It came with a extended rifled tube for sabots, extended extra full tube for turkeys, and a cylinder tube for foster type slugs which is how I use it. The improved Foster type slugs are closer to the 12 gauge barrel diameter and are quite accurate. I have a Leupold 3x scope on a over receiver mount and it's my shotgun zone go to gun. Inside 70 yards it's devastating.

Historically we were a frontier society that built a nation out of 3000 miles of woodland. Shooting is just in our blood. Unfortunately today a lot of the shooting is done by street thugs using unregistered weapons. But most of the shooting community are law-abiding citizens who just enjoy plinking at targets and skeet. And, of course we have about 500,000 privately owned firearms in this country...and they are not all intended for hunting....the majority of these firearms are owned in case the day comes when our own government turns to tyranny, Unfortunately that day seems to be just over the horizon.

I think some of that confusion comes from people lumping all slugs in the same category.

Hey Buffalo, today is a sad day. Thanks for brightening it up. I always thought modified was best. Cut shells are good man. Happy New Year bud. I’m drinking a bourbon in gratitude to you

Just recently purchased the Beretta 391 haven’t had the opportunity to fire it yet. The shotgun came with a slug barrel which is rifled. It’s a beautiful piece!! I hope to learn trap shooting. The information is alway welcome thanks!!

I added a rifled choke on the KSG. It seems to keep slugs straight and they don't seem to show signs of tumble and hit where you point to about 35-40 yrds. I haven't shot it much beyond that distance yet.

7:28. BULLSEYE! 👏 BTW I had good luck with a modified choke on an 870. Cloverleaf group, all touching at 50 yards. Only problem was the length of that 28" barrel.

Well organized test! I would like to see this done with Winchester slugs. They always shoot the best hands down. I shoot Winchester through my Savage pump modified ( old gun ), and they often touch holes at 50 yards.

I use a rifled choke in my smooth bore barrel unless i have a breaching choke on it for CQB. The rifle choke helps for distance with slugs and spreads 00 buck better for room to room

I tend to fire Foster slugs through open cylinder 12 gauges. I like break open, single shots as deer guns, but I do have a couple of M&P 12 gauges, that are pumps and open cylinder, which work just as well as the singles for slug and buck, when deer hunting.

Did you notice more recoil with the full choke? I shot some reload Foster-looking slugs out of a full choke single barrel with a cushioned butt pad and thought I’d been hit by a truck. Same reloads through a Winchester 1897 with about 8” cut off the barrel (cylinder bore?) and hard butt plate, clover-leafed at 100 yards with no particular pain.

Thanks for video I'm getting ready to do some slug work . Just bought Lyman slug mold and already have a Lee 7/8 mold . I bought a Mossberg 500 slug gun with rifled barrel on sale for just under 300 . Going to try some different ways of loading ,wads, powder,hulls, etc .

Now that sounds like a lot of fun. I've been thinking of getting into loading slugs myself. I already reload my own handgun rounds but I haven't done much for the shotgun.

Some of the best groups that I've shot with shotguns and Foster type of lead slugs.... Remington and Winchester. Remingtons liked a full choke, cylinder and Improved cylinder liked Winchester lead slugs. I have an Ithaca with a modify choke, that shoots Winchester lead slugs just fine. All of MY test groups were shot at 50 yards. And yes... they ALL kick like a mule!
