A helical fin shotgun slug sabot is designed to stabilize and improve the accuracy of a shotgun slug by spinning it as it travels through the air. The helical fins create a rifling effect, similar to a bullet in a rifled barrel, which helps the slug maintain a straighter trajectory and hit the target more accurately.

How far does wad stay on sabot slug?

The wad typically remains in contact with the sabot slug until it exits the barrel of the shotgun. After firing, the wad separates from the slug shortly after leaving the muzzle, usually within a few feet. This distance can vary depending on factors like the type of ammunition and the design of the wad and slug. Ultimately, the wad's primary function is to protect the slug during its travel through the barrel and to ensure stable flight until separation.
