Rifled Barrel Shotgun.

[rhino400]

I recently bought myself a rifled barrel for my Mossberg 500 20ga this Barrel<---Clicky I am looking for suggestions on what type of sabots to shoot through it. I know I need to try different brands and decide for myself but I am looking to narrow the list to loads that have worked well for others.

I am thinking of trying the Hornady SST loads. Does anyone have any experience running those through their gun?

Friends use them and love them, I use Federal Barnes Expanders. Brenneke are my old favorties and I use them as well.

Add in Remingtons Buck hammer and Lightfield's line of slugs and you have 5 brands that are all proven 1 shot killers and can be found in local stores.

Thanks for the info I will add those to the list of slugs to try.

Winchester Partition Golds and Remington Core-LOKTs are also worth a look.

I would get some Remington core-loct (bad quality control though) hornady SST, Hastings, Winchester supreme, and federal barns expander. Take them to the range and see what you and you gun can compromise on. Find the round that makes you confident in the field, the rest will fall into play.

guess with gun season a few week away, I need to start figuring out which sabot I'm going to use as well.

Hard to find now but "REMINGTON BUCKHAMMERS" are the best I ever used thru a rifled barrel, they have an in flight stabilzers, that is slightly different than the sabot but very accurate!

I'd agree here! I used the hornaday SST in my old Moss 500 with the ported rifled barrel and it did pretty good. But there may be something better out there.

Buy a box of each and see how they group through your gun at 50 yards. Practice with the ones your gun likes best. I did that for years until pistol caliber rifles became legal, that and cast bullets reduced the cost of practice a great deal.

I tried several different loads. My gun really seemed to like the Hornady SST slugs. I was getting 2 inch groups at 50 yards. That is the longest distance I have at my house to shoot. So next time I go to the range I am going to shoot a few at 100 yards.

Spend the money and try the Winchester Partition Golds. OUTSTANDING 100 YD GROUPS OUT OF MY 870!

Not exactly amazing, but I put 3 of those SSTs through the same hole at 25 yards with my 870

I have heard good things about the new Remington accutip slugs. I prefer the Federal Barnes tipped expanders, though!
