sabot vs rifled slog
A sabot round has a sabot usually plastic the slug is smaller that the bore and the slug is inside a plastic sleave (sabot) to fill the bore. the object being to use a lighter slug thus a faster slug. In the case of a rifled slug the slug has the rifling instead of the barrel having the rifleing. rifled slugs are generally used in smooth bore shotguns. and the sabot in the rifled barrel but not limited to it. using a rifled slug in a rifled barrel is gilding the lilly.
