At 1 time or another I have shot them all through my 870 wingmaster 20 guage
Most shotguns can shoot all with the proper choke.
All guns will do this,with the inention of screw in chokes you can adaot the gun for optimum performance with shot loads as far as slugs accuracy will not be the best unless you have a rifled barrel
Good Luck.
All of them.
I have shot all of them through my mossberg 500. I have a smooth barrel and a rifled barrel for it. On the other hand my wife uses a remington 870 with a smooth bore and shoots Remington Slugger deer slugs.
Not at the same time! :) just kidding yeah tney will all shoot them, you might have trouble with screw in turkey chokes and slugs or large buckshot but other than than let er rip.
Any can. Just don't shoot the bird and buck shot with a rifled barrel or choke.
most shotguns can with the use of the right choke. accuracy with slugs through a smooth bore isn't fantastic but it can be done and you can kill deer that way.
Any shotgun can unless you put a rifled slug barrel (or called a rifled deer slug barrel). Even that would fire the shot, but the rifling would give a pattern like a doughnut. Technically speaking once you put a rifled barrel on a shotgun it becomes a rifle. The deal breaker with slugs is the choke. Buckshot also wants a mostly open choke.
Every one will do this... that is what they are msde for.
Ditto DakotaMan. Now, if you want accuracy and performance in your chosen load, that is another story.....
yeah you can shoot all of them through any shotgun but id recommened getting a rifled barrel for slugs
