RE: sabbots
You are right, I pressed the wrong 5, it is a z5 not a z7 I was shooting 295 power belts and they were all over. I did some hornaday and were better but pricey. The group came in with the maxi and the sabots were not the cure-all as I have read they were to be. I never liked the pellets for two reasons: when loaded with sabots and a fouled bbl. you can crush them and the result is a loss in accuracy, price is next I can get more shots with loose powder for the same price. The 370 maxi did as well as the sabots I tried, and I cast them so the price is right, and the extra is the feeling one gets when you have put together your own mix and it does well. I guess I'm an old diehard, I used a PBR for most of my hunting with the old hawkin I made from the blue print of KIT CARSON's hawkin, it took me a year to do it, but it was fun.
