hunting with shotgun slugs
« on: August 05, 2011, 03:49:35 PM »
i have a benillie super nova and right now i only have the full choke in it cause i lost the outher ones. and im thinking about going bear hunting in a firearm resticted area. and was wondering if i had to take the choke out to use the rifield slugs or is it better to leave it in. i can not use steel shot in the choke. thanks

Do not shoot it without a choke tube! Unless you want to ruin your barrel. You should probably pick up a improved cylinder tube for the slugs.

Or a fully rifled slug barrel for it.
Nothing like a Remington model 700xcr.

Finding one of these for a Nova is difficult at best. They are also pricey, almost better off just buying a separate shotgun

Open cylinder (no choke) would be best.  Forcing a slug through a choke is not good.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

yeah listen to everyone else. dont shoot it without a choke tube. that will probably ruin the threads so you would never get a choke tube back in. Ive shot slugs through a modified choke, but full choke probably isnt going to be the best. IC is what is usually recommended on the boxes of rifled slugs.
