In years past I did a LOT of shooting with the foster type slug from a 12 gauge smooth bore and got good accuracy from slightly modified Rem. 870's and tinkered factory foster slugs.
The better guns/slug combo's would hold 3" sometimes a tad better at 100 yards.
Wonder if there is a foster mold available to cast foster type .20 gauge slugs?
I've found that Lyman makes a sabot type slug in .20 gauge, but i doubt the design would work in a smooth bore. The wasp waisted sabot design slug REQUIRES a rifled barrel to stabilize it. I tried the then new sabot slugs in smooth bores with dismal to worse results. Even at 25 yards the sabot in a smooth bore would keyhole. They would not stabilize at all at any range.
If the foster slug is available in .20 gauge it might make the .62 smoothie a real kick butt load.
