Re: slug ammo trough choked barrel
Remington's breacher choke doesn't have any constriction, it's a straight Cylinder tube. Any ammo that your shotgun is capable of handling can be fired through the breacher choke without any problems.
For the record, most lead slugs can be safely fired through chokes, as long as the choke is not overly-tight. Modified or lighter is usually a good rule of thumb for slugs, but a lot of common slugs can be fired through Full chokes in a pinch; though accuracy can suffer with Full chokes, and the choke may experience accelerated wear with high-volume shooting. Shooting slugs through chokes tighter than Full is not a good idea, as it can cause permanent damage to the choke and barrel.
Certain specialized slugs may have more stringent choke requirements. When in doubt, look for manufacturer instructions or recommendations on the ammo packaging.
