erskatedoc Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The wife asked me to have some extra slugs on hand. She loves skeet and trap and as a result of her comfort with SG's, she prefers her M4 over a rifle. She asked me to get a few hundred rounds of Sabots (for HD). Any suggestions? I have little practical experience with Sabots. Cabelas has a sale on Winchester Supreme XP3 300 gr Sabot Slugs ($11.99/box of 5) with free shipping. Any other suggestions? __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other suggestions? __________________ Unless you have an M4 with a rifled barrel or choke tube I would just get the cheaper rifled slugs as sabots need the spin of rifling to squeeze the accuracy out. Especially since it is for an HD use I really dont think you will see much of an accuracy difference over 20 yards. Some on the forum here have reported good results with federal truball rifled slugs. Personally if I was looking for a dedicated HD round I would be looking at OO or OOO buckshot, but currently I'm taking the lazy route and saying I use 3" Remington Buckhammers for hunting those should probably work for HD too...

Any other suggestions? __________________ Get here Black Magics in 3" or 2-3/4". They perform great in both rifled and smooth bore barrels. You should find them for around $8 a box for 5, but the 3" are 600 gr. I agree with the above post, get some 00 or 000 buckshot for HD. You can't go wrong with that, but the Black Magics are so accurate I would feel comfortable in a hostage situation, 10-30 foot head shots with ease. By the way why does she need a few hundred rounds of HD slugs? I think a few boxes will be more than enough. Tell her to stagger her rounds, slug than buckshot than slug and so on. Hope you don't need to use them. Good Luck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
