@CJW: AGREE, and don’t understand why anyone would want to shoot a NON sabot slug down a rifled barrel? (Unless they ‘lost’ all their ammo and a rifled slug was all they had left). If you wanted a very heavy slug - Remington use to make a “Buckhammer” sabot slug that weighed 1 1/4 oz in 12ga and 1550fps. They were about as aero dynamic as a BEER CAN but very accurate (in my Browning Abolt slug gun) and averaged 2” groups @ 100 yrds - matching any other sabot slug brands I tested. I liked them so much, purchased 20 boxes on line in both 20 & 12 ga after they were discontinued a few years ago.Just buy the sabot slugs. I have shot a few rifled slugs out of a rifled barrel. Sometimes it's like it was meant to be. Then one flys off 2 feet away. A good copper sabot for any game or even a BRI if just shooting at deer will be accurate every time.
