Shotgun slugs...are all chokes the same?

[Jpl]

Is it possible to shoot slugs through an improved cylinder choke?

The factory slugs are sized to work in full choke barrels. Shouldn't be a problem, may not be as accurate as a full choke. Different brands, weight, style all work differently in different barrels/chokes.

Stay away from the true ball deep penetrator slugs, they have a marble jammed in the back of the slug.

IC is an excellent choice for all factory slugs, Breneke or Foster style .
You should shoot the gun with the slugs you want to use however tonsee how it groups, same as sighting in and checking the ammunition in a rifle,

I have been told that slugs and steel shot should only been fired in IMP CYL CHOKES , or at least modified is that wrong ? Im agreeing with cat on this one .

The thing about tight chokes and Foster style slugs us that the slugs are designed to swedge down in a choked bore.
Some Breneke Style slugs or ones with sabots need a more open choke however .
Steel on the other hand needs a fairly open choke because the shot does not deform or swedge down .
I stay way from guns marked " full" unless the choke is steel approved ? Then the construction will be proper for steel.

That nay sound confusing but it us because one company's construction for a particular choke could be tighter than another's even though they both build guns rated "full"
