Default RE: Hornady Low Drag Sabot

I shot three boxes of the new low drag and was slightly impressed w/my Omega.They definetly load easier, shot very close to the same as far as I could tell. It was somewhat of a windy the day I was shooting and held a 3" @ 100 yards. Not as good but I did have a cross wind in an open field and I'm just a fair shot. When I was shooting good I can clover leaf @ 100 yards. Since I did not shoot a deer w/ the 110 grain load of 777 loose powder in the Omega I can't tell you how the bullet would perform. All the sst ml I have shot have been in and out. Not a huge exit wound. This is the same results I have heard from the slug hunting folks. The new flex tip hopefully will give better expansion. Either way if you do a double lung the deer is down in 30-50 yrds....
LOL, Steve
