Shot quite a few SST, and Fed Truball slugs through several rifled choke tubes made by Rem, Hastings, and one other that escapes me right now. The Hastings did best, probably because it was five inches long and had some chance of imparting spin. I don't think the standard flush muzzle tubes have much chance of overcoming the eighteen inches or more of full velocity and doing much gripping of the sabot. A few recovered sabots showed straight shredded exteriors as opposed to great rifling engraved from a rifled barrel.
I have gone to a 220 Savage and given away an expensive collection of rifled tubes. I got, most of the time, equal results from an ic smoothbore and Fosters as I did with sabots and tubes.
Your experience may vary.
I have five slug moulds, foster, sabot and my own hybrid, and have loaded and shot almost all proprietary slugs available for reloading. If I have to shoot a smoothbore, the original Brennekes or Truballs are my choice.
