I'm still fairly new to shotguns and most of my experience has been with trap, but I recently picked up an 870 to use for HD. I was looking at different slug offerings and now I have a couple of questions. I know that rifled slugs are for smoothbores and the saboted slugs are for rifled barrels. My question is: how do choke affect all this?
1) If I have a smoothbore and a rifled choke should I use saboted slugs?
2) What kind of chokes are compatible with slugs? I assume I shouldn't be throwing slugs through an extra full turkey choke. What's the cut-off?
3) Do I need chokes of certain materials to not destroy/be destroyed by the slugs?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
