New owner, Choke question

The grooves on a slug are to seal for gas pressure while allowing the slug to swage down in the various chokes safely. The sabot slug is a smaller "bullet" like slug in a 2 piece "sabot" of plastic. In a rifled barrel the rifling imparts spin on the sabot that leaves the "bullet" upon exit and the bullet flies in a spiral for a longer range accuracy.
To me the difference is a more expensive gun firing slugs at 10+ dollars for 5 compared to a sub $200 gun firing slugs that cost $10 bucks for 15...:o
Your gun is ready for the latter...

That gun WILL be hard on you, especially if you're shooting slugs and buckshot.......It's VERY light, the slugs/buck are heavy and moving very fast - together equals major OUCH. IF you're going to shoot heavy loads, get it to the correct LOP WITH a good recoil pad on it. That should help immensely.
 
But oif the folks I know who shoot a semi, 95% stick a LM in the pipe and forget about it

More anecdotal over-generalizations on your part.

I sure would hate to shoot at your range. Your descriptions make it sound like a simply awful experience. The crowd I shoot with gets together on Sundays for organized shoots and we always have some good sized groups that go shoot together. We all have a real fun time and chat and socialize all throughout walking the course. While it is competitive, and people naturally want to shoot well, we are also there to have fun together as a group.

If the guys you shoot with are behaving to such an extreme where to avoid distractions they cannot even change a choke tube, I can only imagine what a dreary and totally unfriendly atmosphere it must be like.

It sounds worse than attending a funeral to me. Certainly not my idea of fun.

Actually everyone in our groups have a lot of fun - they just don't need to worry about it like it seems you and your group does. Sorry if you really feel another .005 is gonna make you a M class shooter

It isn't the arrow....it's the Indian.

Most shooters that I shoot with have enough confidence in their capability that constantly changing chokes isn't necessary
 
Lance,

I think you're out of line -- you make too many of these discussions personal when people don't agree with your opinions .....

OneOunce and everyone else don't need me to defend them / but give it a rest Lance - you can post your opinion, without making it so personal...
