Shooting rifled slugs thru a rifles choke? Didn't think that was recommended. Rifled chokes are not going to perform as well as a fully rifled barrel but then it is only a small amount of rifling compared to a 22" or longer barrel.
It does not hurt anything the groves are there to allow the slug to pass through various chokes without deforming too much. The only down side to shooting them through a rifled choke or a fully rifled barrel is the leading that will occur.
The rifled tubes are "supposed" to work with some lower velocity sabot rounds. I few indicate that on the box. I'll have to do some more testing this summer as my impromtu testing of the various slugs that fall into my hands have not provided very positive results. I know it was not going to work as well as a dedicated slug barrel but at the time it was a matter of price point so I went with the cheaper option. I agree that a fully rifled barrel would be the better option as it should provide acceptable results with a much broader range of ammo.
I have been looking to pick up a fully rifled barrel but cannot decide which gun to buy it for. (870, 930, 500c, 835,....)
