can I shoot buck shot through a rifled shot gun barrel without damage? | ||

damage to the barrel won't occur. damage to the buckshot will and their will be almost no pattern. i tried it several times with different barrels and buckshot loads and it brings a new meaning to "spreader loads". | |||

max(hm2) is right, the rifling acts as a centrifuge throwing the shot out away from the center. | |||

Yep And it might lead up the rifling a bit too although I haven't tested that out for sure. | |||

a load of buckshot fired at an open door from 20feet can entirely miss the open door. The pellets will hit the floor ceiling and walls on either side... If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day! Those who manage to provoke themselves into other activities have only themselves to blame. *We Band of 45-70er's* 35 year Life Member of the NRA NRA Life Member since 1984 | |||

No, it won't damage your barrel. Yes, it will make a mess inside your barrel (excessive leading). | |||
