Default RE: Use sabots with a Mossberg conversion barrel?

ORIGINAL: GeoTech

Thanks all for the reply's. I am using 209 primers, and yes I did remember that the pellets are directional. I bought the gun from a local gun dealer (friend) that was if I remember correctly, a promotional "kit". I came with the standard barrel, a riffled slug barrel, and the muzzleloader barrel. It has been a great gun, and I've taken my share of animals with it. The conversion takes about 30 seconds, and the biggest problem I have ever run into is trying to work with the primer especially when your fingers are cold. Our black powder season is during December. I did run out today to Gander's and picked up a new box of pellets some Hornady sabots. I will pay attention to the "tightness" of the sabot, makes sense and let you know how it works. Thanks again for the help,
Gary
Best Wishes, December is here, so your not leaving yourself any time for fumbles. But a few hours and you can get it dialed in. 3" at 100 yards is good. 2" is excellent. 1.5" is exceptional.
