What factory slugs will go thru full choke and be accurate?

Svt-40 I think you need to check out "Hastings barrels" they carry cantilever scope mounts on shotgun barrels for a few popular shotgun models. To get any degree of hunting accuracy you really need iron sights or a scope (lots of eye relief though!)
If right now, all you have is a front bead, do your wallet a big favor, and stop until proper sights are mounted!
Some newer shotguns have holes drilled for a weaver scope base on top of the receiver, but not all, S&K company makes scope mounts for a few shotgun models too.

Numrich would be a good option too for shotgun barrels.
Can't remember if they are subject to USA export laws though?
Anybody here know?
Plus, put a "WTB" post on the EE here....periodically check out new posts in the parts & bits section....

Cheers and good luck to you.....

A guy in my camp shot a nice buck, about 6 years. With a slug. Full choke. Head shot about 45 yards. He's not the greatest shot either. So as far as accuracy. They did the job there. I wouldn't worry about it. Just my 2 cents.

I shoot foster style slugs through full choke shotguns alot. The other comments are spot on. Different guns like different slugs. The best combo I have found is an Ithaca model 37 in 12 gauge with winchester bulk (15 pack) 1 oz slugs. Ithaca shotguns (models 37) have been proven to have the tightest most concentric bores in shotguns made in the last 30 to 40 years. This ONLY applies to original Ithacas made before 1980. I have read this on more than one occasion and have owned and shot these vintage guns with excellent results. A scope or good irons will improve accuracy. I await the non beleivers to add their two cents. By the way Winchester foster slugs have the largest diameter compared to federal and remington. This gives the best gas seal and stops any yawing. (if that really happens in the bore) AGAIN I am basing this info on actual experience and not on what I think. The foster's hollow base aloows it some flow through the full choke. It was the old pumpkin ball round ball loads from the early part of the 1900's that would pop a full choke.

I am in full agreement with this post....I do not have as much experience as Madtrapper, but I have had the exact same results with winchester 1 oz slug, and success with brennekes too.

Cheers!
