Mossberg 500???
I have a Mossberg 500 with the rifled barrell and I cant find a sabot that shoots well out of it. I have had a lot of sucess with the litefields, but they dont shoot well out of this barrell for me. They shoot great out of my buddies, but not mine. I will get a couple shots in a nice group and then I get a flier. Then I wont get a group at all for a few shots. Any suggestions on a sabot?

I also use Winchester Super X foster slugs. Some will tell you, you can't shoot fosters through a rifled barrel. BS. Thats why they make cleaning kits for guns. You will lead up the barrel but they shot the best out of my 500. I also found that Remington Sluggers, another foster slug shoot the best out of my 1187 with a rifles barrel.

If you are getting nice groups with the first few shots than you are good to go. With Lightfields and other sabot rounds the sabot is plastic and it fouls the barrel some after a few rounds. Try swabbing the barrel after every 3-4 rounds and see how it works.
After all, when you are hunting how many rounds do you typically fire?

My 500 shoots like crap from the rifled barrel as well. I tried many different slugs but cannot get it to group more than 2 or 3. Wasted a lot of time on this gun. Bought a Super Nova 3 years ago and never looked back.
