Which Choke for Rifled Slugs?

A cylinder choke is recommended for shooting rifled slugs in a smooth-bore barrel.

What choke tube should I use for slugs?

It's important to select a choke tube with little to no constriction. That's why a cylinder or improved cylinder choke is ideal for use with slugs. These types of chokes have a large enough diameter to shoot slugs without damaging the shotgun barrel or causing harm to the person firing.

Can a rifled slugs be shot through a full choke?

Rifled slugs will shoot out of a full choke without a problem. I have seen many slugs shot and many deer killed with full choked barrels and rifled slugs. I shot slugs out of a full choke 20 gauge for deer over a dozen years. I saw one 870 with choke tubes that was 18" low at 50 yards with an improved cylinder choke.
