If I were doing this here's what I would do first:
Buy commercial finned shotgun slugs as pictured in my earlier post, or similar, 12 gauge of course. Since that's not too terribly much less than 1" diameter, make a simple sabot to support them in the bore, provide gas check, and protect fins, which is not hard using things like plywood, cardboard, sawdust or plaster, press, hole saw, etc..
Take pix or video of the work and results.
