    Thanks.

    yes

    rifled slugs are good to go
    sabot slugs dont really gain you anything out of a smoothbore and do better in a rifled barrel

        You can, you just don't get the stabilization advantage you would in a rifled barrel.
        ...but their exists also in the human heart a depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level, and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom.

            I doubt it does much. I've seen smooth bore slugs make some pretty dam good groups.

                depending on what the gun is, you can always get a spare barrel - I did for my Mossy 500
                I mainly shoot .22lr, 9mm,45 acp, 357 & 38, 12G, 7.62x39, .308, .223/556, 7.62x54r, 300 win mag, 8x57
