i thought you were only susposed to shoot these through a fully rifled slug barrel...i shoot these through my 870 rifled slug barrel....dropped a deer at 130 yards...sounds like a rifle going off

@23mrcowboys Yes I would say the slug was not fully stabalized with our rifled choke tube.  Use a full length rifled barrel.

You're the only tester of sabots that I can find, and I've been serching for HP sabots for home defense because I'm a mofo. I can't tell you how helpful your videos are. You cut the sabots open, and they're not cheap. I appreciate that.

I have 4 sabot brands I use for HD right now. 2 of them you tested, the Rem. Accutip, and this one. The third one is Wincester partionGold and the fourth is Federal Fusion. I have to ask, do you have a favorite?

[andreleger2001]

@aaronscrewme I like the Hexolit32 rounds.

Very nice. I should consider it for my gun. I was hoping you could test some of Hornady's sabot slugs if you don't mind. Also I was hoping if you could tell me where I could find a 12 gauge rifled choke tube or barrel that would fit an H&R Pardner in the Tucson area. I've been looking everywhere. -Cheers

[andreleger2001]

@460WeatherbyMag I will try to get some of the Hornady slugs for testing. I think I got the choke tube from midwayusa. You might check their website for one for the Pardner.

the pre-rifled have been proven to have no actual gains in performance, in other words you are wasting your money and they just plain suck.

[jonnycronik]

sabot slugs were designed to be used in non-rifled barrels ..hence why they are pre-rifled . what are the chances that the rifling on the slug and the barrel are going to match up???? im no math wiz but im betting not very well.

@georgesantoro I think that's what he just did. Seems like the only thing a rifled choke would improve is Remingtons bank account.

[bigdogbuc]

It would seem that a rifled choke is kind of a waste of money. That's a lot of distance to travel to suddenly slam into rifling and try to start a spin. Seems more like a rifled choke would hang up the wad and sort of sling shot the sabot out. I'll bet that puts a lot of stress on the choke tube and threads. This is kind of an either/or proposition. Fully Rifled or smoothbore with rifled slugs. Thanks for the video.

[georgesantoro]

if you put a rifled choke tube in a normal, unrifled barrel, is it ok to shoot sabot slugs?

[HK45Mark23]

I use this Sabot in my H&R. Works great every time!

[breakyoselffool100]

i use the same shells only they are 2 3/4 and they put them down all the ones i shot with these shells did not run any more then 50 yards

[conan566]

Man can you still find these shells I jus shot a Doe last weekend with my Winchester 1100 and she was right at 82 yards man got good hit put my beed right in the area and shot seen her kick and found her about 20 min later about 100 yds away my son shot one at about the same eight years ago. I'm shooting modafide choke but its right on I checked Walmart but couldn't find them I bought box of five in 2003 I want to get more their great for deer with regular shot gun
