Does a running chicken like to be CHOKED ? ... Lol generally not.
because slugs are solid in the body, forcing then into a tighter area of bore ( Choke ) takes energy and speed away and generally will foul the choke area of barrel fairly quickly from the lead smearing.
Now some slugs do just fine in choked barrels and others do not .... need to do some reading on slugs to pick up the snippets of good data that is out there along with weeding threw the bad.
