Per site rules, I post this here because I use sabots and 250 grain .45 caliber XTPs in her.
Powder is 70 grains of 3f Swiss Holy Black.
She wears the factory bead front sight and a T/C aperture rear zeroed at 100 yards. Velocity 1610 fps chrono'd and drop is 22 inches.
200 yards with a sidelock is FUN and attracts attention from the curious and disbelieving.
Nice shooting!!!! I shot some sabots out of an old Hawken years ago, just to see what they would do. Much to my surprise they grouped better than what I had shot in it for years.
