You need to offer up a little more info, like are you using a smooth bore or fully rifled barrel, or a smooth barrel with a rifled choke?????

I have a .12 gauge with a mod choke factory barrel on it idk what it is can i put a slug through it?

smoothe bore modified barrel can shoot rifled slugs but not sabot slugs.

You will be able to use rifled slugs in it, just don't put in a tighter choke. If you're just using a bead sight then get out and practice with it, and know your limitations.

 

[Hunter1995]

so use rifle slugs?

 

[Hunting Man]

yes, they are fairly cheep so find which one your barrel likes. Your max range with a smoothe barrel will be around 50-60 yds and knowing where the slugs are on paper. Breneke (spell?) is one to check out.

I've been trying to

I've been trying to get a good piructe of them, but Blake Deer has a lot on his platter right now, and we can't seem to arrange a time. Blake, if you are reading this, you should probably know that I named a deer after you. Sorry.

What he said. SST's are quite impressive.

I have pretty good luck out of the Brenneke Heavy Field Short Mag aka "Green Lightning" rounds with a 870wingmaster smoothbore with a 4in circle out at 100yds. This is my old reliable gun/backup gun but in my current gun which is an 870 with a rifled barrel shooting the sst rounds and that can get the group down to 2inches at 100yds. Both guns are scoped and 12 gauges. Either way they both get the job done.

The last two deer I shot with Honady SST's (300 gr.) dropped where they stood.

my 870 is heading down to S. Ohio after Thanksgiving, it's scoped and will shoot where I put the crosshairs.
