twowheelhooligan Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I had good groups with slugs in my M4 using the factory MODIFIED choke. I used 50yds for my zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisun Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I would try your modified and your improved cylinder. See which works better. I seem to have more luck with my improved cylinder when shooting rifled slugs. Also, you may want to try to find a rifled choke for your gun.

frolic1 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 What's the purpose of a choke tube? To tighten up the spread of the shot. Since you only have "one shot" with a slug a cylinder choke should work fine. (After all do rifles use choke tubes?) Definitely do NOT use any choke greater than a MOD choke. I had excellent groupings with a improved cylinder choke shooting slugs with my M4 yesterday shooting Remington rifled slugs at 50 yards. Interesting, switching to Federal True Balls rifled slugs moved the grouping up 1 foot and spread them out a little more. So I'd recommend using your most open choke and try various different slugs to see which works the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
