Which choke is best for slugs?

Shooting Foster style slugs (American Rifled Slugs) through different chokes out of my Beretta Xtrema II to see the difference in group sizes.
My friend over at The Magnum Channel did a very similar video as a follow up to this one. He used the same slugs at the same distance but shot his groups from a Mossberg 500 using only the bead sight. Here is a link to his video, check it out-- • Best choke for shotgun...

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.

[@jamesoliva9531]

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.

[@mikepetrilli4686]

I'm not surprised that the choke doesn't make that much of a difference with slugs. I find that a rifled choke tube really helps stabilize the slugs.

[@ChristIsKing217r68]

The things we learn from shooting. I really though the full, or the modified choke would've given a dramatic difference in groups. Great video, bud. Thanks for sharing!

[@johnndavis7647]

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

[@matthewarmstrong935]

Which choke did you use?

[@the.reel.mccoy.]

@@matthewarmstrong935 It was a standard slug barrel for the gun, so I'm assuming it was just cylinder. It's a smooth bore too. Somehow it could hit pop cans at 100 yards dang near every shot when on a bench.

[@HillTrekkerSarge]

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.

[@tbxtroll]

I notice the tighter the choke the more the muzzle jumps. Perhaps due to lead swaging through that tight restriction. Great shooting. Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[@AussieInCA11]

If you watch the barrel on those shots it's jumping up and to the left. I suspect something about the shooting position was causing this a little bit as well.

[@greylocke100]

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.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing your findings!

[@archersfriend]

Interesting results. Seems like years ago, every one claimed NOT to use a full choke with slugs. Oh how times change. The leaves went from beautiful to bare in a couple of weeks there.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

I think some of that confusion comes from people lumping all slugs in the same category. Someone cracks a muzzle shooting a Brenneke solid slug through a full choke and suddenly all slugs should be shot from a cylinder bore. People who don't know the different types of slugs should indeed just stick to cylinder bore. Yeah the beautiful fall foliage didn't last long. Thanks for tuning in!!

[@raleighthomas3079]

Buffalo's Outdoors you are EXACTLY correct about the different types of slugs, like Brenneke! I use them almost exclusively for hunting, because of the qualities of the solid bodies. Two thumbs up on your knowledge of what you speak. A breath of fresh air!

[@roblindley5697]

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.

[@jamesoliva9531]

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.

[@TargetSuite]

"12ga prone . . . not the funnest style of shooting" . . . I have not done that but can say without a doubt . . . AMEN! Great video Buffalo. Thanks for breaking down slug performance with different chokes.

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to do it. Definitely answers questions i have had for quite some time!

[@cleonmain1291]

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.

[@kentwilliams3326]

Hey Buffalo - I came across a good shooting bench that was being used by a black powder shooter. He was sitting in a chair with an arm rest (I think it was a lawn chair) with the chair facing 90 degrees to the right. He sat in the chair and rested his left elbow on the arm of the chair and shot. His own weight stabilized the chair. FWIW

[@Sandstorm9562]

My Winchester 1300 never liked those Remington slugs but would print cloverleaf groups at 80 yards with Winchesters.

[@vonmajor100]

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

[@Dsdcain]

Buffalo's Outdoors, abusing his shoulder for our education and entertainment. Pretty interesting subject for a video. It looks like Karl Foster knew what he was doing back in 1931 when he came up with this slug design (yep I Googled the year). Thanks for making yet another in a long line of great videos. Really enjoy watching them.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Yeah I thought I'd mention him and it seems his design has stood the test of time. I was surprised at how consistent the slugs were even through the full choke.

[@arthurshingler2025]

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.

I was always told that too when I was growing up. I think this comes from people lumping all slugs into one category. There are some slugs that should only be shot through a cylinder bore so the safe thing to tell people is that ALL slugs should only be shot through a cylinder bore.

[@atubeviewer4942]

Another choke comparison that DID NOT include a rifled choke. WHY? To do a complete real test you should do a smooth bore, cylinder, improved cylinder, modified, full, rifled, then the exact same on rifled barrel. so 6 from a smooth bore, 6 from a rifled bore. 3-5 shots per = 36-60 shots. Better get a good butt pad. THen you could do smooth slugs vs rifled slugs, 120 shots now.
