Rifled Slugs are designed to be shot through a smooth bore barrel with a compatible choke tube if the barrel is threaded for chokes. Sabot Slugs are designed to be shot through a rifled barrel. If you have a smooth bore barrel that has a fixed choke you need to ensure the barrel constriction is safe to shoot slugs through.
