Can sabot slugs be fired in a non rifled barrel? Can regular slugs I call pumpkin balls be fired in a rifled barrel?

thanks

As a loose rule, sabots work best in fully rifled bbls, standard slugs and Brennekes in smothbores and rifled tubes.
 
Is it totally safe tp fire sabots in a smoothe barrel or must some kind of care be exercised. I heard stories about the wads or liners staying in the barrel. My gun does pretty well at 30yds with slugs (haven't had a chance to try farther).
thanks

I'd be inclined to do it only in modern guns with fairly open chokes, if at all.

If your choke runs Modified or less, go ahead....
