You are right I am a old relic left over from the centerfire age of 270's and 300 Win mags - shooting flat partitions and boattails.
In Idaho we can shoot sabot during ML - if we couldn't I would be looking hard at conicals. My biggest problem with conicals well ML's in general is the effects of xwinds down range. I can handle the drop becuse I can factor that in but varying Xwinds are a killer when shooting a distance down range. Here in the mountains of Idaho shooting across draws, up and down ridges winds exist almost all the time most of the time at different rates and most of the swirling. Conicals are really adversly effected by winds.
Good talking to you - mike
