How much worse is loading with a plastic sabot?
Okay so I have a lot of newbie questions because I am new to muzzleloading, I just got my first ML. I had assumed I would shoot powerbelts but after doing a lot of reading it seems a lot of people hate them becuase they blow up on deer. Just out of curiosity I dropped one on my basement floor and it put a pretty big dent in it, to the point where I wouldnt shoot it. Seems pretty soft to me. A lot of people shoot them to, but I dont want to take the chance. Part of the appeal of the powerbelts is the easy loading and lack of plastic residue after shooting. Is the plastic from a sabot really that big a deal or is this mostly just marketing? Loading a second pwerbelt after shooting was pretty easy, how much harder is it with a sabot?
