Tried out some of them " TC" Cheap Shots sabots in my 1 in 48 barrel at 50 yards with open sight I got a group that would fit under a half dollar about the same as with round balls.

Now here' s the problem I shot it three times cleaned the barrel in between shots with cheap shots and got the group a above then I cleaned the barrel again and shot some patched round balls and my group with round balls went from 1 1/2 inches to 8 inches after I had shot the sabot. [:' (]

So I cleaned the barrel again tried another sabot and it hit bout 5 inches from where I was aiming, cleaned the barrel again and started to try another sabot and got it about 6 inches down the barrel and couldn' t get it down any farther down ended up having to pull it bout like not to have gotten it out.

Went home cleaned it up again went back out the next day tried it with some round balls and the same thing happen got about an 8 inch group so I cleaned the barrel started to try a sabot and couldn' t get it down past 6 inches either.

There' s no ruff spots in the barrel or anything that looks wrong so what do you all thanks the problem ?
