Due to the cost of shotgun slugs, and my 20 USH liking the more expensive ones, I shopped around for slug molds and or sabots. Sent an e-mail to Lyman customer service to ask which mold would work best for my rifled barrel. Answer was "either one would work". Anyone have experience with either one of their slug molds in a rifled barrel or a source for sabots ?

the lyman slugs that look like large pellets <air rifle> are outstanding.......12/2o ga.i use 12 ga.in non rifled barrels and shoot good.....a friend shoots in his rifed barrel and outshoots factory ammo,without the kick........20 ga in a nef rifled barrel shots good to great with herco powder.....jb

Tanoose, found that sight after posting. Sabots in 20 offer an opportunity.
jbtazgrabber thanks for the offer, but I need 20 ga slugs. Will probably try the sabots after season. Have been saving my hulls so I can reload. Hunting buddy has a Mec with 20 ga hardware so the sabots will get a go. Will have to check out e-bay for 20 ga slugs. Again, thanks for the info. Will keep you posted after season so we can all benefit.
