sabot slug ammo

[KWeber]

cant find any anywhere...
here's the deal.. in the early '90's I bought a Mossberg 835...one of the early ones w/the 28in UN-ported barrel...
goose-gun but used it for everything..the origiginal blued/wood gun...it's slick as snot...so I bought a 24in rifled bbl from Mossy... they're chamber for 2.3/4 up to
3.1/2in .. got a couple boxes of 3in federal fusion in 385gr about 1700fps.. gun shot them pert good.. can find any now...at one time lightfield made a 3.5 load, but I didnt get any...
what I'd like to find is a 3in sabot load.. all places I've looked at are out of stock..
Mumme's can get me 2.3/4.. gonna check a few other places...PS ...I've also added an 18in riot barrel w/ is slick, too...
since the bbl is chambered for 3.5 I figger the longer shell might have better accuracy due to less free-bore.. altho it's a 1in36 twist, so maybe not...
the loads Mumme's have on their catalouge are.. 300gr at 1890 f[s...2.3/4... so my old goose pumpgun can be a 45-70..
the sabots are hollow point copper clad .45dia..300gr at nearly 1900 is a good 45-70...

Your talking about a half inch of chamber vs the remaining 20.5" of rifled barrel which is plenty to stabilize and give you accuracy.... a 3"-4" group at 120 yards or so is best you can hope for.

it sits w/a 18.5in riot bbl on the porch and the under-tube is stoked w/5 4b ...
" con no me chinga!"...

I did add a 1/2in Akton lace up recoil-pad just to keep it down a little.. plus add some LOP...

Is this what you're looking for? Used these in Iowa. Don't hunt there anymore. No need for them unless there's a zombie apocalypse. They'll put your eye out kid. Kick so bad the scope will bite you in the eye

yeah sit on them... i figger something to deal w/milage...

[KWeber]

full-house 3.5 will give you a fat lip if you aint holding tight... and those were 1.3/4oz goose loads...
there are 2oz turkey loads out there...
along time ago I intentinally doubled a rossi coach gun stoked w hi-brass 1/1/4oz loads...
still have a small scar where the ray-ban glass cut me

[Mocity31]

I still have a scar over my eye from that Mossburg rifled barrel with scope. A rushed shot with an awkward stance and next thing I know there's blood running down my face. Amazing the knockdown power of those slugs. Blows a 200lb plus animal down and bounces

I have a Mossberg 12ga with a rifled ported barrel and a Nikon Slughunter 3x9x40 on it. I use Federal Power Shok Sabot Slug 438 gr. and have it sighted in at 100 yrds. Killed many pigs and a few deer with it. The last time I bought slugs for it I got them at Palmetto State Armory.

[KWeber]

yep Hunter my rifle bbl is also ported...dont think they come any other way..
the 28in shotgun bbl is NOT ported, but the newer one are..
the Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag is really open to all kinds of conversions... I need to scheudle a hook-up w/ MoCity and get those Lightfields...
this aint a man-bun gun...

[KWeber]

it can run these, too

Dad said they could only use shotguns in Illinois back in the sixties. Not sure if buckshot was legal. I think I still have the 12 gauge 1 oz. slugs he bought back then. Once shot a Master Lock w/ a 20 gauge rifled slug to get it off a chain. Lead splattered back into my leg and pushed the lock into the ground. After figured out just could of ground the rivets and lock would of just fallen apart.
