Depends on how old the shotgun is.
Yes.
Yes
Death and distruction. Not a good idea at all....
Yes; however, the Remington Coppersolid slug is designed for shotguns with fully rifled barrels. A rifled barrel is not standard on the 1300 Defender but is available as a replacement. The Coppersolid slug can be fired from a 1300 with a standard smooth bore barrel, but long range accuracy will suffer.
Rifled slugs. Sabot slugs will not be as accurate- hose are meant for rifled barrels.
A sabot, often referred to as a sabot slug, is a single projectile bullet that is fired from a shotgun. A sabot slug is usually covered in plastic which breaks off upon impact.
Assuming you mean the Remington 870 shotgun, with a scope- is your barrel rifled? If so, sabot slugs are generally the most accurate. If smoothbore, then rifled slugs will be most accurate.
Yes. That's the only type of shotgun you should fire a sabot slug from. Rifled shotguns are intended for rifled slugs only. Actually, the opposite is true. Rifled slugs are preferred for smooth barreled shotguns. The 'rifling' on the slug is actually just fins that permit the slug to squeeze through the choke on the shotgun barrel. Sabot slugs are intended for rifled barrels, as they will give better accuracy. Some sabots may be used in smooth barrels, but you are paying more for sabots and not getting the accuracy you would get by using a sabot in a rifled barrel.
no you cannot. sabot slugs are made for rifled barrels. I would buy a rifled slug barrel.
A single, non-rifled projectile shot out of a rifled bore shotgun (specifically a slug gun).
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.
In short, it is a barrel designed to fire slugs. Some are smooth bore which are intended to shoot rifled slugs or buckshot, while others are rifled and intended for shooting sabot slugs only. This is a very good and trusted answer. lcj
