Title: One question!
Post by: alecvg on January 15, 2010, 06:11:21 PM

Hey guys, this might be a really stupid question, but I will ask anyway.  Can you shoot birdshot out of a rifled slug barrel?

Yes,  You will get a donut pattern that will open up faster than of you were shooting through an improved cylinder.

yes.  buddy of mine bought some 45acp birdshot rounds out of curiousity.  they were decent up close but got signifigantly worse with distance.

Sweet, thanks.  Then it sounds like it would work for some of those really stupid grouse!  Thanks!
