YES...You can
Sabot style Slugs perform best and are more accurate in "rifled" slug barrels.... BUT Traditional Rifled Slugs are best when used in a smooth bore shotgun barrel like your Mossberg "Slugster" barrel

exchange into the firearm bought to you new as a "slugster", or is it a 500 with a slug barrel? You did not specify and that's a extensive diff. The "slugster" fashions are virtually constantly shipped from the production facility with rifled barrels....yet there is one type that *did* have a 24" smoothbore barrel. yet while that's a 500 with a slug barrel, there have been a minimum of three diff ones you have got that have smoothbore slug barrels. Mossberg rifled barrels are decrease with a a million in 36" twist. If yours have been rifled, there does not be any question approximately it. you ought to not omit it. you could not restore rifling. do not even worry nerve-racking approximately it. you in addition to mght can not degrade it to the component that it would want repairing below widely used use. you have a smoothbore slug barrel. you could hearth quite a lot something you want via it. you ought to use rifled slugs (pronounced), yet you additionally can hearth sabot slugs for the reason that your barrel is a cylinder bore. Sabots won't provide any accuracy, regardless of the shown fact that. you additionally can hearth all sizes and kinds of shot. Shoot wisely!

If the gun is modern you most likely should [be able too]. But you should always make sure it fits specifications, I don't know if they sell deer slugs in 3+ inch shells, but my shotgun CANNOT fire shells of that length. Check your barrel markings and your manual very carefully. 2 1/2 or whatever inch slugs shoot out of my smooth bore barrel just fine, although obviously not dead accurate.

Check your owners manual. It should have the answer you seek. If you don't have an owners manual you can go to the Mossberg site and download one. Most smooth bores will take a rifled slug but there are a few that will not. ALWAYS check the manufacturers manual.

You youngsters!
There were shotguns and rifled slugs a long time before anybody ever started selling rifled "slug barrels."

YES, but the manufactures recommend you only shoot them with a cylinder or improved cylinder choke only.** Buy Remington Brand Slugsters.*
