I shoot sabots through a rifled barrel. So I would then think you should be using rifled slugs. Before when you where shootingwhat kind of slugs where you using?

I think rifled slugs are made for smooth bore barrels.And Sabbots are made for rifled barrels.Im no slug expert or anything,but im pretty sure.What have you been shooting?

you should be shooting rifled slugs... i also had the same problem as well with my rem. 870... you might need to change the choke, because mine shot all over with a modified as well...

Rifled slugs are not notorious for being accurate...sorry to say... Do you have an inline muzzleloader?
