Default RE: Sabot Choice......

"I would stay away from the SW 250, 300g is OK because as you will see in the ballistic jel above they fragment."

Ballistic jell is not a live animal, neither are wet newspapers or clay. That bullet has worked very well for me.

Over 90 percent of my deer and hog kills have been bang flops or near bang flops-travel less than 10 yards. Most have been shot at <75 yards but there have been some long shots as well. Hornady 240 grain XTP bullets in the short black sabot and the 250 grain SST bullet in the tight red sabot work for me. There is absolutely no substitute for bullet placement:Every year i pass up more shots on deer and hogs than i take.

It is absolutely not necessary toshoot a deeror hog through the shoulders in order to have a bang flop.It may sound strange but my favorite shot on deer and hogs is not a broadside shot. It is thequartering away shot. Have often waited for long periods of time in orderto get that shot on an animal.
