Grandson bought me Sabot Accutip Slugs. It says use only in rifled barrel. My shotgun is smooth bore. Will it hurt to shoot them?
The lack of sights on smooth bore barrels probably has a large effect on how accurate a sabot round can be.

They are designed for rifled barrels with rifle type sights.
I'll trade them in my local store for a box of turkey loads.
Have NEVER seen any store take ammo back for any reason - trade or otherwise.
I can see that--but even at 50 yds most hunting rifled bore sabots I have used will impact quite a ways off from other brand slugs, so I might do this to get on paper but wouldn't count on it for final sighting accuracy at 100 yds.I used to live on the border of a shotgun area and knew quite a few guys that used shotguns for deer. A couple of them used lead slugs to sight in a new scope on a rifled bore. They said it got them close and was a lot cheaper than starting out with sabots. Notice the big difference with the scope?
