Ryan, i'm afraid you're wasting time asking questions about guns in another of this current storm of political pissing matches....

Actually graybeardtmm3, some of us are able to walk and chew gum at the same time. However, it was your fellow Liberal the Nutty Professor who twisted Perry's words and made it political. Thanks to both of you for your contribution to the topic.

To answer Ryan's question... A ten bore rifle has rifled bores, and is typically shot with the correct size grease groove or paper patch bullets. Round balls may be used too if the twist rate is suitable. A ten gauge slug gun may be a smoothbore, used with traditional rifled slugs. The slug has integral flights that impart spin for stability. However, there are also slug barrels with rifling that are designed to be used with a saboted slug. The rifling in the latter imparts spin to the sabot and slug, and the sabot falls away as it leaves the muzzle.


Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
