A: Thanks for reaching out Max! Sabot ammo like this should not damage a smoothbore shotgun. The chief drawback is that you would get practically zero accuracy. Without rifling to stabilize it, a sabot slug starts spinning around after exiting the muzzle. Worse yet, the slug cannot deliver terminal sxpansion if it does not strike its target tip first.

A: Hi John. Thank you for looking to LuckyGunner.com for your ammo needs. I would probably go with the heaviest slug I can find (typically 1 ounce) and avoid any reduced recoil or "tactical" slugs. The good old Remington Slugger is just a tough round to beat. https://www.luckygunner.com/12-ga-2-3-4-1-oz-rifled-slug-remington-slugger-250-rounds
1560 ft/sec with a soft lead 1 oz slug. That should be a good round for all but the largest of bears in North America. Give me a call and we can help pick the best slug for you. Have a great day! Ross
