FAQs
Can I use sabot slugs in any 12-gauge shotgun?
Sabot slugs require a rifled barrel or rifled choke for optimal accuracy. Using them in smoothbore barrels reduces precision and can damage the sabot.
What is the effective range of sabot slugs?
Most sabot slugs perform reliably at 100 to 150 yards, providing better accuracy and trajectory than traditional slugs.
How does a sabot slug differ from a rifled slug?
Sabot slugs use a plastic carrier that separates after firing, allowing a smaller projectile to travel faster and more accurately than rifled slugs, which are a single unit.
