Buck shot in a rifled barrel?

[miramichijeep]

Can buckshot be fired out of a rifled slug barrel without damaging the barrel?

It will not damage the barrel, but you won't get a good pattern out of it at all...

Yup. Don't expect to hit much though

Good to know, thanks.

I patterned 3" 000buck out of mine just for an "oh ####" back up plan. At 15' not a single pellet hit a metal 45gallon drum. I used the 3rd as a slug after that

I won't hurt the barrel and it won't likely hurt what your shooting at either. Patterns will be terrible.

wow that bad .. never wouldhave thought

Donut pattern. If they use a shot cup it will be spun by the rifling, as soon as the wad leaves the shot column, centrifugal force will cause the pellets to drift outwards from center. If you really want to try, get some cheaper stuff like remington or super x that does not use a shot cup, maybe you will find something that works. Remington managed recoil buck may do the trick.

Remember high school physics??? Think centrigugal force - what happens to all that lead shot when it spins???...
