In regards to a shotgun threaded for chokes, is it ok to shoot anything without a choke?
I have no intentions of trying to shoot field loads or buckshot like that, my main concern is slugs.
When I first shot my recently aquired hunting 12g a couple of months ago, after playing around with the three chokes that came with it on field loads and buckshot I wanted to try a couple slugs. I was unsure whether to use a choke at all and ended up shooting a couple with nothing at all. Didn't seem to mess the threads up, which is what I was worried about.
Anyhow, I understand the different styles of chokes and what they do, my question is basically whether or not you can damage the threads by shooting anything really, through the barrel without a choke.
