Curt45lc Returning Adult Registered: 05/16/05 Posts: 287 Loc: Everson, WA	I got a win. model 37 singleshot 410 yesterday with a built in full choke. I was wondering if it is possible to shoot rifled slugs through it? I have an 870 12 gauge but perfer keeping it the way it is as I do lots of duck & grouse hunting and shoot trap in the off season. thanks _________________________ "I'd rather eat the barrel of a double barrel loaded shotgun, than listen to that censored called pop country music on 98.1" Hank Williams III

They are pretty much useless unless you are within about 15 yards. What would be your intended target? The FPS and slug weight turn out having less terminal effectiveness than my .40 S&W. I'd rather use my .40 than a .410 slug. Not legal for deer, as I believe I read 20 gauge minimum for deer, bear, cougar. 12 gauge minimum for elk. _________________________ "Give me the anger, fish!

You risk splitting or at least bulging the choke (approx last 2 inches of Bbl). Steel shot is also not recommended in a full choke. _________________________ "...the pool hall I loved as a kid is now a 7-11..." If you don't like our prices bring your wife down and we'll dicker.
