Hey, Squantos! I've been playing with my 870. I got a short tube w/iron sights and rem-choke. I have a rifled choke in it. I can smack a bowling pin at 80+/- yards and it pattens 00 buck ok at 25 yards. Any downside to shooting the shot through the rifled tube that you know of?

Not to the best of my knowledge. I have fired 00 and #4 thru my slug guns before. I have a tar hunt that I used a 00 through and it actually opens the pattern a bit as I have discovered vs my smooth bore versions at the same range, lenght of barrel , choke, and load.
