sabotloader, if you research the rpm of a bullet I think you will find that it holds its rpm for longer than its normal usable trajectory. WhatI would suspect is a possability is in a loose bore the bullet might slip in the sabot.
I am wondering if some of these combinations people are using because of how easythey load are boederline in stability and will there for will be eratic at long range? Lee
I also have used 230-240-250-260and 270 gr bullets on deer with excellant results,the SW,the Gold dot the nosler usually pass through the lighter XTP a lot of times dont but when you get a bang flop you dont need a blood trail.I dont have any thing against 300gr I like them for Bear,Elk and Boar, but I have come to believe that the best all round is the 50/40 200 gr and they shoot excellant out to 200 for me in the Omega and the Triumph but the 1-38 twist System oneshoots the 230 and 240 best the 230 Gold Dot has been doing an excellant jog of bang flop out of that gun and it normally leaves a gaping exit hole to [load is 150gr RS and a musket cap] as they group in 3 inches at 150 I wouldtake a distance shot if I ever got one my records show longest actual shot was a buck at 84 yds bullet exited far side deer ran about 35 yds.Lee
