I recently bought a 500 Persuader and I have a question about what it can shoot.

Looking at the manual I believe it can shoot just about any shell as long as it is either 2 3/4" or 3" but before I try slugs or 00 buck I want to make sure.

The manual covers more than just the 500 and doesn't really explain what it can fire as much as it does for the 590's.

thanks.

I shoot everything but 3.5" shells.
Everything.

My gun has the short barrel (18.5", I believe) with cylinder bore (no choke).
Even if you were to have a Full Choke, you should be fine, as long as the slugs have the grooves down the sides which can compress as they come out through the narrower Full Choke.

Thank you :D

Somehow, I think one needs to be careful if shooting steel shot. I think the steel shot (which does not compress like lead) may not be able to be shot through a full choke (certain choke TUBES, that is), but someone would need to verify that. One would think a full choke gun would be made to shoot steel shot, for waterfowl!
