     Hi Lyle;
     I haven't seen the BRI types availiable to reloaders, but that
     dosen't mean the're not out there.  The wad used in the Lyman
     and Lee reloads acts like a sabot also.  This keeps you from having
     to scrub all that lead out of your barrel like after shooting the std
     fosters bought over the counter. Unless you have a fully rifled
     barrel, I don't know if the BRIs or any of the high priced sabot slugs
     would make much difference. I've never found the fancy rifled barrels
     and hi buck slugs to be all that cost effective for the normal range
     slugs are used at. I've killed deer every year using my old 870
     smoothbore slug barrel and foster slugs. I've never felt handicapped
     with it at all. I just find all shooting is more fun when you
     "roll your own" ammo.
     
                                Take Care
                                Dave
