Default RE: need help on sabots

ORIGINAL: hunter brad

i shoot a .45 caliber cva. i am using 100 grains of pellets with 195 grain aerotip powerbelts. i get great accuracy but the problem is last year i shot a doe at 35 yards, found no blood knew i hit her so i zigzaged back and forth found her. skinned her out shot her behind front shoulder. tonite shot a doe at 25 yards. found a drop of blood i know i hit her behind shoulder. did not find her and i am sick about it. wondering if i need more powder or different bullets, or is it just the 45 caliber. thanks alot
If you were shooting 100 grains and the shot was 25 yards the bullet fragmented. You should switch to another type of bullet like the XTP that Sabotloader spoke of. They hold together at high speed.
