everybody simmer down now i thought the point of the forum was to be able to ask questions and get informed but maybe i was wrong i guess only certain people are allowed to ask questions and i must not be one of them
Nobody was attacking or insulting you,I was just saying not to worry about the little things. You have a devastating weapon that will kill anything in Fl.Enjoy it,have a great time hunting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun
A typical 12 gauge shotgun slug is a blunt piece of metal that could be described as a 18 mm (.729 inch) caliber that weighs 28 grams (432 grains).
I used to hunt deer in alot of places in N.Y. that were shotgun only and no buckshot allowed, so I opted for the scoped rifled bbl for xtra accuracy and distance ( using the sabot slugs ) app 300 grains in wt and 45- 50 caliber. since hunting the brush in fla I'm now leaning towards an 18" smoothbore with some type of open rifled sight and interchangeable chokes, so I can use a full choke for turkey,and buckshot or rifled slugs for deer/hogs with a modified choke. I think where alot of your confusion is coming in is rifled barrel vs rifled slug. the rifled bbl has the rifeling in the bbl . the rifled slug has the rifeling on the slug itself, so it gets some spin when shot thru a smoothbore bbl. the rifled slug has no sabot around it so it is larger in diameter/caliber and heavier app 1 oz or app 400 some odd grains, in 12 gauge. hope this answers some questions and we can put this thread to rest.
Thanks for the info nacho u were definitely helpful
