Mrtolga Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I would like to ask that, can i use standart ammo (exept sabots) in a fully rifled barrel? Like rifled slugs.. Is it possible to use them? Does it make any problems? I have a Nova rifled slug. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwnr Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 If you have a rifled barrel, you should shoot sabot-type slugs. Do not shoot a rifled slug through a rifled barrel or rifled choke. Only shoot rifled slugs through a smooth bore barrel with an open choke tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtolga Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 Does it make any damage to my barrel or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulf Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 (edited) if you shoot a rifled slug through a rifled barrel it can indeed damage the riflings inside the barrel, on the basic's of rifled slugs such as my personal choice *the Brenneke KO* have a preset spin rate set by the angle of the "fins" if you will on the sides of the slug, if the spin rate isn't the same as the twist rate as your rifled barrel then it could damage spots in the riflings where the slug spins over them it all breaks down into knowing the twist ratio of the barrel and of the slug and which direction either is going, ..simple rule of thumb is to just use common slugs for your rifled barrel and let the barrel do the spinning and for smooth bores use either, but if you truely want good accuracy use rifled slugs hope i could help Wulf Lupinus Nobilitas ________ volcano vaporizer digital Edited January 22, 2011 by Wulf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
