Assuming you mean a shotgun with a rifled bore, yes it can. However, you will not be happy with the results. A rifled shotgun bore is intended for use with sabot type slugs. And for those, it does very well. However, when firing ANY shot cartridge, the rifling will impart a spin to the fired shot (by spinning the shot cup). That spin will cause the pellets to spread apart, leaving an open hole in the middle of the shot. At longer distances, the shot pattern will look something like a doughnut. Likely resulting in a missed or wounded animal. For shot loads or rifled (Foster type) slugs, stick with the smoothbore. For sabot slugs, use the rifled bore.
