plastic sabot to grip and spin the enitre sabot/bullet assembly, as it travels down the barrel.

A lead slug (Foster or Brenneke) will pass thru BUT no improvement in accuracy.

A smoothbore barrel is best with the foster / brenneke styles.

With tightening restrictions on lead in bullets you may want the rifles barrel, then the homogeneous non-lead bullets can be handled aand you get better accuracy with more range.
