No I have not shot it without the shot cards... the only reason I am using the shot cards, well actually two reasons... 1) I do not want to melt the bottom of the conical with the powder charge - I hate the thought of lead fouling... and 2) I worry about the lubricant on the conical possible contaminating part of the powder load.... I may leave my gun loaded for weeks in all kinds of weather. I am hoping the shot card will insulate against that also... These cards do not appear to be lubricated - UC suggested them from TOW - heck I got a thousand of them at riduculously cheap price - can not remember what.... I find them down range - they actully fly farther than sabots...

I might have to try chrono readings with out cards ans see if there is a difference... I was going to shoot across the chrono again today but ran out of time and patience - fighting that darn sight...

I am going to replace that sight -might have to drill and tap a new hole for the TC sight but done it before and will probably do it again....
