I want to hunt with a my shotgun,using slugs.  Shots will not be over 100 yrds.  I need to know if I need a slug barrel on my shot gun or can I just use the smooth bore. The slugs I have are threaded. Thanks for any help.

By all means in my opinion get a rifled barrel. I had to use slugs in Virginia and that rifled barrel will work alot better and is so much more accurate. I dont know what type of shotgun you have but sometimes you can find some barrels pretty darn cheap. The rifled barrel will give you far more options on differnt types of slugs. You know unless you have shots that are 30-50 yards and you know you wont have a shot over it, then its up to you. I would definatly go rifled if I were you. Happy Hunting

Rifled barrel with Hornady SST Sabot slugsis the way to go. Seriously like 200 yard range, but absolutely deadly. IF you decide to go cheaper and use a smooth bore, you need to use rifled slugs. BUT whatever you decide, dont put rifled slugs thru a rifled barrel, or sabot rounds thru a smooth barrel- Not accurate and not safe.
