12ga slugs

If it's not an 835 or 935 it should not be an issue.

Yep,
just read the following:

SLUGS: Overbored 835® Model Accu-Mag barrels are designed for lead or
steel pellet shot loads only. We specifically disclaim any responsibility for
damage or injury resulting from firing slugs (single projectile ammunition)
through overbored barrels. Use only 835 Model barrels designed specifically
for slug shooting.

The first Modern Sabot slug , the BRI ( still offered, now owned by Winchester ) predated rifled bbls , and was designed for smooth bores. They are aerodynamicly stabalized by their shape even from smoothbores. At short range their accuraccy overlaps the various traditional slugs , but they do have the advantage of high BC , high SD , and deep penetration.

Yep, but it didn't really take off until the Hastings Paradox rifled barrel came out. BRI - 1984. Paradox - 1989. Then all the other sabots started to emerge.

I've fired BRI sabots out of a smoothbore, but with a rifled choke. The Remington Buck Hammer also works good through a rifled choke.

The Lightfield Hybred EXP is an improvement on BRI. Although they drop quicker, I find they are more accurate than most of the bullet in a sabot type slugs.
