Default 285gr Buffalo Sabots

I have a line on several left over boxes of these. They look like they should be accurate and great on game. Anybody have any experience with them? Thanks.

Default RE: 285gr Buffalo Sabots

I bought about 6 boxes of them off of ebay last year for 5 or 6 dollars a box. I had bought a box several years ago and found they shot well with 100gr of 777 2F. They averaged about 1.5" at 100 yards and 1750 fps. I haven't had a chance to use them on game but they should work well on deer size game.

I shoot the 375 grain and they are good. I only found one box of them and tried them in a couple rifles without the results I wanted, so I went back to the heavy 375 grain SSB's.
