Quick ?, can buckshot and birdshotbe used in a rifled shotgunbarrel. Or will it effect the grooves in the barrel and ultimately mess with the accuracy/trajectory when utilizing slugs? Also, what's a good sabot slug round cost at the average sporting goods store?
Sure, You can shoot bird or buckshot in a rifled barrel butit probably won'tshoot worth a damn and screw up the barrel. Go to your 'average sporting goods store" and buy at least 5 different sabots and see which shoots the best. Don't mess with the scope, just shoot for a group. If none of those shoot decent try others. Different guns shoot different slug better than others. Once you find a good sabot that shoots well out of your shot gun go buy some more of the and sight your gun in. I go as far as when I'm sighting in I buy slugs from the same lot number. The lot number is on the inside flap of the box. Just me but thats how I've always done it.
