The technical field of the invention is that of slipping driving bands fitted to projectiles of any caliber fired from a rifled barrel. The slipping driving band according to the invention consists of a driving band boby 8 and a front ring 7 arranged in a circumferential groove 6 of the projectile 1 and separated by an axial gap 12, and is characterized by the fact that the bottom of the groove 6 has a tapered seat 9, the angle of which opens towards the rear of the projectile and that the driving band body 8 has an internal profile complementary with that of the tapered seat 9. The present invention is particularly suited to discarding sabot projectiles of medium caliber.
