DH>>Shotgunners,
DH>>On page 39 in the July issue of Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement they
DH>>have an article on a new slug for smoothbore that has pinpoint accuracy.
DH>>It sort of looks like a sabot slug, but with polymer tail fins to
DH>>stabilize its flight.  The blast of the gases from the barrel blow off
DH>>the plastic sabot shell in a forward direction, as opposed to the
DH>>standard sabot needing air pressure from the front to peel off the
DH>>sabot.
DH>>They speak of a 7-shot grouping that went into 10 inches at 175 yards.
DH>>It has a velocity of 1600 fps compared to 1475 fps for Remington Foster
DH>>type 1-oz slugs.
DH>>The round is called the Silver Plus Sauvestre Arrow and is imported by
DH>>two companies, one in Vermont and one in California.
