Seems to me that a round ball with a driving band would be just the ticket for rifled shotguns. Cheaper by far than sabot slugs and not much less accurate. Any reason why it isn't offered in factory loads?
I imagine it would be lighter than a comparable rifled slug (as light as a sabot slug) so they user could get lower recoil OR higher velocity with a flatter trajectory (basically 20ga recoil out of a 12ga while keeping a large wound channel).
