Do I really need a slug barrel to shoot slugs?

Is there a rule of thumb to follow, when shooting slugs out of a choked barrel? In other words, make sure the slug is so many thousands under in diameter? I’m with Motörhead, as I’d like to shoot slugs or try them at least, on my Bully which has a choked barrel. 



To the OP, I apologize for adding to the diversion. Hopefully with all the talented responses you got your answer.
