We attempted to shoot some Russian slugs called "Bulava" in this video. We decided to shoot them through a break-action shotgun- also made in Russia. We had nothing but problems with this combination. Break-action shotguns are built with economy in mind and are not made for slug shooting. To improve their performance for skeet and bird shooting - they come with a permanent, tapered barrel. If they made them cylinder-bored, they'd be LOUSY for shooting bird shot. (most-common use) It makes no sense to buy a break-action that we'd have to chop off the end of barrel, when we have shotguns that have threaded chokes to give us the flexibility we need. When we have rounds too LONG to load normally, we just remove the barrel which takes about 20 seconds. It's not a problem.
WHY we don't use a Break-Action Shotgun -You probably didn't think of this ─ TAOFLEDERMAUS
