slugging is a process used for rifle barrels - a bore diameter lead slug is made- and used with a lapping compound to clean up a rifles bore - because it mates to the grooves and lands it evens up a rough bore, and sometimes to polish them for accuracy
since the slug is poured from a lead alloy- which will deform to some extent when pushed against dents - i see no use for the process in a shotgun barrel
and if you "slugged" with a piece of hard metal of equal or larger bore diameter - its my opinion you would compound the damage
dents can be raised with a series of metal plugs starting with one at the most narrow spot working up to full bore- but you still push some material forward not straight back up, which IMHO is the best option
