Well, I have some very similar questions. But I can tell you that I did find on slugsrus.com the SPW wads that they sell (for 20ga), claim to be able to use any .44 caliber bullet in them. I am currently trying this out, but I have some questions as to whether I am using the right bullets or not. I have Hornady, 240 grain .44 caliber, .430" copper jacketed, hollow point bullets that I am trying. When I put them in the wad, I really have to PUSH them in hard to get them seated, and then the sabot/bullet combo won't quite push through the rifled barrel, so I haven't tried shooting one through yet, until I get a few questions about that answered first.

They also sell for 12ga, that claim to use .50 caliber bullets.
