SAFARIKIDThose Rifled Choke Tubes for slugs..Do they really work??
I may get one,I know they are made to help stabelize slugs or sabots?,but are they a gimmick or do they tighten the groups?Any articles/test written or firsthand experience's? Thanks!

meteYes. A friend did some experiments years a go .Most accurate - sabot in rifled barrel
Next sabot with rifled choke .
Next standard slug with rifled choke.
He commented that after using the rifled choke it had screwed tighter and was difficult to remove.

max(hm2)i have threaded numerous smooth bore barrels for choke tubes. the tubes improve the accuracy of slugs over the smooth bore by a lot. not quite as accurate and consistant as a fully rifled barrel though.
