bill its not a sabot really...i borrowed some 1 7/8 ounce slugs out of 10 ga federal shells....the bores of the 8 ga parker were .845...i wrapped the 10 ga slugs with teflon tape till they were a measured fit for the remington s p 8 wad...used 40 grains blue dot powder....only had 5 slugs to reload the 8 ga shells with... shot 3 times at targets of 20 30 40 yards...resonable accuracy at 20 30 yards but missed the40 yard target...but i was shotting off hand at these ranges could have been me instead of load for the miss...only have 2 slug loads left hope to take a deer soon....should have the round ball ready soon when i get the mould....ball will be. .835 in diamter will have to weigh it to know how many grains it will weigh... charlie

Thanks. When you get a good slug, close to choke diameter, you may get better accuracy than you think.
