It is safe (I’ve done it too). Patterns will (as you note) open quickly, but I know one guy who uses a shotgun with a rifled choke (not the entire barrel rifled though) for ruffed grouse hunting at VERY short ranges in thick cover. He likes a big pattern up close! (and he gets a lot of grouse too!). John Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/

It will work without blowing up anything but the pattern. Look at it this way, a saboted slug is nothing more than a congealed load of shot. ED Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/
