Welcome to the forum. It sounds like you are on the right path. There are many people here that can help you out alot. You have what you need the only advice i can give is go out and shoot. Shoot alot. If the sabots are really hard to get down your barrel you might have to try some other sabots like harvester crush rib ( my personal favorite.) If you have the money and time try to shoot as many differnt sabots, powder loads and primers as you can. My cva kodiak .45 is kinda picky. It shoots powerbelts better than any other bulets I have tried.

Thanks do you need an special tip for power belt sabots on your ram rod

All you can do it try them. Load two pellets (not three) and see how it shoots. Welcome to the sport. Be sure to swab between shots. And let us know how it does for you.

you can get a special tip for almost all sabots but i do not use any. Just one thing before you go out and spend money on powerbelts shoot the sabots you have who knows you might get lucky and have them group really well for you.

You should have good results with that load, if they open up get some loose powder and start at 80 grains then shoot you should be surprised how they tighten up. The main thing on any bullet is to not push it too far. The Banner scopes are great scopes and bring ina lot of light. I would start at 25 yds and see if you hit paper then work out to what range you expect to hit and adjust the scope. Good luck I've heard they can shoot.

If you shoot Powerbelts, it is a good idea to order their special tip package for loading them, Especially with the Hollow Points.
