The Use of Slugs

Smooth bore barrels with choke tubes should have “Cylinder Choke” tubes installed when using Foster or Bernneke style rifled slugs. A “Cylinder Choke” will provide the best accuracy. Any choke with constriction of .020″ or more can result in damage to the barrel. Our “Improved Choke” tubes have a constriction of .013″ and therefore may be used with rifled slugs; however, accuracy may be compromised. Weatherby recommends slugs only be fired using a non-ported cylinder choke.

At no time should you shoot without a choke tube installed as this may cause damage to the choke tube threads in the barrel.

Choke Tube Identification

Choke tubes can be identified by the number and placement of small notches found on their muzzle (non- threaded) ends.
