    Great season! Cool to see you hunting with a shotgun for deer, have to get much closer than the usual!

    Congrats!!!

    But I didnt think it was advisable to shoot slugs on a full choke? Was I misinformed?

    ,,,,,,yup its fine,,,,,,foster slugs or some people call them rifled slugs are fine to shoot through full choke,,,,,,,the purpose of the "rifling" on the slugs is so they can basically mold to the diameter of the bore when being discharged,,,,,sabot slugs on other hand do not compress,,,,sabot is a solid,,,,but if you take a close look at a foster slug,,,it is in fact a hollow projectile,,,,so it is able to compress,,,,,,,i also use the foster slugs out of a 1968 fixed full choke,,(goose gun),,,and they shoot just fine also

    Should be fine with any lead slug. I think less constriction "can" be better for accuracy, but if it's shooting accurately no need to switch it up
