    You just need to shoot rifled slugs. They catch the air and spin the slug. Rifled bores take non rifled slugs.

      Rifled slugs don't spin much at all, and don't necessarily help accuracy either. The best bet is to try a few types of slug and see what shoots best out of your particular gun.

        He must be a priest. He tells us that the rifled slugs don't spin but he forgot to prove his claim. Some high speed footage with a few different loads at a decent distance away from the muzzle would be sufficient. I don't think anyone but him thought that a rifled slug was supposed to spin in the barrel. There's simply too much metal on slug friction for tiny grooves catching atmosphere, to overcome.
