Default RE: SABOT LOAD IN 1:38 TWIST BARREL

I have a 1-38 CVA Stalker and it will shoot 300 grain sabots pretty good. I found that because of the short barrel I only need to push them with about 80 grains of powder. It also shoots Powerbelts and Saber Tooth Conicals very well. I have been shooting 300 grain Hornady XTP's out of it.
