Shooting Shot in a Rifled Barrel

[pdevore]

Is it ok or not. I have an Xtrema2 with rifled slug barrel and would only be able to hunt once a year with it if I can only shoot slug, but if I can shoot shot I might use it for upland also.

I never really thought of till someone asked.

it will open up the pattern of your shot way too much.

Box Of Truth did this a while back. Just google it.

True there is a donut effect, but The Box of Truth tests were with 00-Buckshot. Not what one would expect to use for the OP's upland hunting.

Thanks for the link. I have been using the search but is really hard to follow for more than 1 word searches.

Thank tutorial was very interesting and NO i will not be shooting shot out of it.

Thanks
