[quote]I have the same set-up on my ancient 870, and it is very accurate with about any slug load, but especially so with sabot loads. Makes for a very versatile hunting gun....
Mule Deer,
By the above quote, did you shoot "Foster" type slugs through your rifled barrel too? If so, did you experience excessive leading? I bought a 12ga 870 with a rifled barrel and am fixing to shoot some Managed Recoil Buck Hammer (expensive) slugs through it. I e-mailed Remington about shooting "Foster" type slugs through my gun and they said that their rifled barrels were designed for sabots and that I would experience leading if I shot "Fosters" through my gun. The person also implied that accuracy would not be very good either. You typically test things out a lot, so I was wondering. I'd believe you over the Remington person.
