Default RE: Hornady Sabots ???

........well I guess you can say I like them.....LOL

Used the 300 gr .44 cal loaded over 100 grs pyrodex and have had them penetrate almost tip-to-tail on a deer..ie..quartering-to shot,in front shoulder,through mid-section and exiting rear quarter.The 240 gr bullets should perform well also,but I have not used them myself.


Last couple years I have been playing with the Nosler S.H.O.T.S......supposed to be for target more than game,but they have performed very well in my rifle.Took two bucks so far and both were one shot kills with complete penetration.Basically the same as an XTP except for a softer nose which I think should help it to open quicker.
..........might even have to change my name....!!!
