What kind of slugs for regular Mossberg 500?

I love "Remington Managed-Recoil slugger" for practicing. It is a 1oz rifled slug 1200 fps but a lot more enjoyable for multiple shots at the range. Think it has 40% less recoil. They also make a high velocity round 1800 fps 7/8 oz rifled slug that is advertised to shoot better groups at distance.

I have a question: Since sabot slugs are designed for a rifled barrel and rifled slugs are designed for smooth-bore barrels, is there any downside to firing a rifled slug from a rifled barrel?

cant remember the make, but there is a slug that says on the box its designed only for use through a rifled slug barrel. not for smoothbores. im sure someone will know which one it is though lol.

I use brenneke sabots in my rifled barrel, accurate as heck for a shotgun at 100yds.

The main thing is leading of the rifling and the accuracy will not be as consistent as it would be with a slug designed for a rifled barrel.

Glad this is new info for some people. Does anyone have a recommendation for LOW brass slugs or 00? I had some Remington 00 buck but it was high brass and didn't cycle in my gun correctly. The timing was a little off and shells dropped out of the bottom.
