Title: Sabot Slugs
Post by: RB on August 16, 2012, 10:34:39 AM: Have been looking at slugs to run through my new 12 ga rifled barrel on my Mossberg 500. The Hornandy SST looks good and so does the Remington, but they sure are charging quite a bit does anyone know of a good Sabot that won't break my wallet.

I know you get what you pay for I usually buy Federal premium for my .300 and .30-06, but at least a guy gets 20 rounds instead of 5. Any experience with Sabots? Thanks

The SST shot very well for me. I went with the Winchester Dual Bonds as my hunting round. Yes, they are expensive. However, if you tight groups then that is what is out there.
