What type of slugs can I shoot out of my M4

I would like to shoot slugs out of my m4 do I need to change the choke to do so?

 

Thanks!

Shoot rifled slugs w/ a cylinder choke...

Foster slugs if it's a smoothbore barrel. Sabot slugs are designed to spin and shed the plastic cup. If they don't, they tend to pitchpole and yaw; degrading accuracy badly. Federal Truball is a good choice if you're looking for long range accuracy ... for hunting for example. It's a relative new design and seems to be getting quite a bit of good press. Shotguns are notoriously fickle about what brand and load of slug they like. My advice would be to buy a few boxes of each and test them to see which shoots best in your particular M4. Any choke from Modified to open is fine; again, testing can make the choice for you.

 

Here's a link to a site with some pretty good basics on slugs. If you want more just ask.

You might also check Brenneke at "www dot brennekeusa dot com". They have a guide for choked-barrel compatible slugs here:

i just sighted mine in with federal truball low recoil 1oz. slugs

it shoots about 3" groups at 50 yards.thats not bad for a smoothbore

with ghost ring sights.

I shot Winchester Ranger low recoil slugs through my M4 just fine. I missed the bulls eye by only 3-4 inches at 100 yards. Granted I only shot the one shot at the target. I figured I didn't want to press mu luck any further. LOL
