In Idaho we can use sabots - but no scopes - no 209's... And I do not see it changing any time soon - in fact the whole Pacific Northwest is no 209's.
If you get around to trying sabot/bullet combinations I would suggest you stay with TC sabots, MMP HPH-12 or Harvester Sabots. Harvester is now producing a new sabot that is called a "Crush Rib" it really loads easy in my inlines.
If you try the PB's and you not happy shout again and we and/or others can help you get started with sabots.
