I'm not saying that 1" groups with a sabot slug out of a rifled shotgun barrel is impossible, but there are some short falls of the round. Problems with most sabots, and I would say all rifled slugs are the design of the projectile, and manufacturing tolerances are not as uniform or consistant as our beloved standard center fire rifle ammunition causing slugs to become unstable in flight. This can explain why those who use a slug gun to hunt, and also take them to the range to sight in with several diffrent brands of slugs will see drastic diffrences from one brand, or length to another. Some times you might actually think you have a completly diffrent gun. Another way manufactures are trying to meet the demand of slug gun hunters is through velocity, 1800fps+ which to a certain point is more of a problem, for those who have your standard factory slug barel that only has 1-34" (on average) rifling, that translates to a unstable slug. Again I'm not attempting to stir up a argument, but just adding my two cents in. This is the first time I've ever heard of accuracy with a slug gun that = 1"groups @ 100 yards.
