Slugs for Mossberg 500
I'm dragging my Mossberg 500 out of retirement just for grins this deer season. In the past I shot Winchester foster slugs through it with great groups. It has a cantilever rifled barrel. I put a new Nikon Pro Staff on it a couple of weeks ago and shot some Remington sluggers through it and it threw them everywhere. Before anyone tells me I shouldn't shoot foster slugs through a rifled barrel I've done this for years. Just a lot of lead to clean out of the barrel. So I'm going to pick up some sabots and try them out. I'd like to hear if you have a Mossberg 500 with a rifled barrel which sabots you using. Thanks

I use Hornady SST`s. I`ve, also used Winchester Partition Golds. Both shoot really well.I haven`t taken a deer with the Hornadys,yet. But, I have with the Winchester`s. They performed very well. Last year I paid $9 for the Hornady`s and the Winchester`s were $11.

Rifled barrel, then don't use forster type slugs, only use sabot slugs. The Lightfields will always work, you may also want to try the Buckhammers. The rifeling is 1 in 36", so the 2 mention slugs will work best

I am currently shooting Lightfield hybreds 2 3/4. I am happy with them but they are just too dang expensive. $20.00 a box at basspro. Im going to check out some of the others as well. The hornady's sound great at $9

cant hurt to try the cheap stuff. those winchesters shot great out of my rifled mossberg. less than 3$ a box on sale. after that i like the new sst hornadys and the barnes federal slugs. ythe brennekes are supposed to be good too for cheap.

We had great results shootingthe 2-3/4" Remington BuckHammers thru the same set up. Those Remingtons are a heavy chunk of lead.
I don't shoot sabots out of my H&R USH either. Lots of scrub-a-dub but those 3-inch Brenneke Gold Mags are devasting in both accuracy and knockdown.
