Captain I wanted to pipe in here, not to argue with you but I want to make sure you understand what you're talking about and more importantly spending your money on.
a regular joe "slug" AND a "rifled slug" go exclusively in regular shotguns (READ: SMOOTHBORE or NON-RIFLED-BARRELS).
A Regular slug is normal and the idea is HOPEFULLY A "rifled Slug" will pick up some spiraling and therefore stability when it proceeds along its trajectory (read: It will hopefully spin like a rifle bullet).
Rifled slugs are usually a little more than "Regular" slugs in price but nowadays its not even that bad, you can basically focus your shopping attention on Cheap RIFLED slugs and you're good.
They are NOT FOR Rifled barrels. I believe you are shooting them through your barrel and probably think you're shooting okay but you are not using either your gun, Or your ammo, properly.
SABOT Slugs are created Exclusively for Rifled Barrels. They are designed to engage the rifling in the rifled barrel and impart serious (or at least serious for a shotgun) gyroscopic stability upon firing and give maximum spin and twist during flight, like a nice QB pass 70 yards with a football. They are Very expensive.
So I understand your hesitation to spend that money, but no offense, there is no other reason really to have a rifled slug gun than to use sabot slugs for maximum accuracy. I wish not to disagree or argue publically bUt I don't want to see other people make possible mistakes. Rifled Slug Gun = Sabot Slugs, that's why you got it. "Regular" or "Rifled" Slugs may be "cheaper" but you're wasting your money that you seem to already have wasted on that gun.
