I have ithaca 20 Gauge rifled barrel shotgun. I got bad advice and shot at least 50 rounds of rifled slugs through the barrel. Of course, I cleaned the barrel between various shoots. My problem is now I know I need Sabots. However, the accuracy isn't there when I shoot. Did I ruin the barrel? Are Sabots in rifled barrel more accurate than rifled in smoothbore? I am beginner in the shotgun area. Thanks to whoever throws some advice to me. I just found this website today. I am a fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
