[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1195319, member: 5412"] If you shoot one without the choke in, your accuracy will suffer, and plastic from shot wads, or lead from a slug will build up in the threads. This will require a trip to a gunsmith with a proper thread tap to clean out the plastic/lead. Modern and older slugs [B]designed[/B] for [B]smoothbore[/B] shotguns will work in any choke, including full. They are built that way by the manufacturers for the simple reason, that some people may not understand chokes, and they were trying to prevent damage to barrels. My son shot slugs through a scoped rem 1100 smoothbore in mod choke, and could hold a 5" group at 100yds. You already have good advise on turkey loads from an earlier post. [/QUOTE]
