Default RE: Hornady LOCK-N-LOAD

"I like the SST bullet. I prefer buying the regular sabots for them because the LNL's seemed tight in both guns I have tried them. They made more than two shots difficult. (OPTIMA and OMEGA) These two guns liked the SST's better than other bullets with 3 pellets."

iuse SST bullets formy pig and deer hunting with my Encore .50 caliber. They are very effective and deadly accurate.The ones i currently use have someones red sabots. They are hard to load but i do not worry about that when hunting.

"If the gun will shoot them use the XTP's. Much cheaper and very effective."

For many years all i used were 240 grain XTP bullets. They worked very well for me, killed a lot of hogs and deer with them. Still use them in my CVA guns.Bang flopped a boar that pegged a 350 pound scale when field dressed. Shot that hog through both shoulders with a 300 grain .44 caliber XTP and 100 grains of Pyrodex RS. The exit hole was well over one inch.
