    Default Rifled choke tube

    Hey guys

    I have been reloading some sabot slugs for my Benelli. Accuracy not what I want it to be (want at least A4-A5 size grouping at 100m or better).
    Some guys in the US mention the increase in accuracy using rifled choke tubes. Want it mainly for shooting bushpigs at about 50m in dense bush. Other than that it is just fun to see such big holes in a target :)

    Any experience locally with them? How can one obtain one?

    Regards
    KK

    Sounds like a cheap way to imitate the Paradox/ Explora shotguns made long ago. They worked very efficiently.

    Four inches of rifling on the screwing in choke made a HUGE difference with sabot and (solid in wad). Go for it.
