If you have a fully rifled barrel, you should use sabot slugs. As far as brand, they all work, but some will shoot better than others. Luckily, you can buy them in packs of 5 so it keeps the cost down till you find the one that shoots best for you. In my Mossy 500, Federal slugs shoot the best.

When i was choosing a sabot for my 870 Full rifled i tried the Winchester Partition Golds as well as the Winchester Platinum Tips. They both worked fine, however i found the Hornady more accurate at longer distances. If i recall correctly, the Hornady's are faster at the muzzle as well.
