m48 slugs

[freekforge]

I was just down at friendship and ended up buying a H&R m48 on the barrel it says 12ga choke so i am assuming that means full choke so can i shoot slugs out of it? I know it sounds like a noob question but i have never had a use for a shotgun so i dont know much about chokes.

i always was told if a dime will pass through the barrel a slug is ok but if it will not fit it is a no go

I remember hearing that somewhere i tried it right after i bought it and the dime passed right through

Foster slugs are relatively soft and the ribs compress even more as they go through a choke. Best accuracy is usually with a cylinder bore, but you never know until you put it on paper. Even with a full choke you should be ok as long as everything else is in good working order.

i just took apart some slugs and speer and winchester slugs just start in the muzzle and brenneke slugs are a little tight but dad said he thinks it will be ok so whenever i have a chance to get to the range i will try them out.

I just shot the speer lawman slugs out of it and they worked fine thanks guys
