A Savage looks more like this if you use smokeless by volume and dont read your manual. The damage is far less using a large over charge of a recommended powder which the owner admitted to doing. Likely 3-4 times the recommended load data for smokeless.

Read your manual and this wont happen.

My 45cal load is so mild the sabots look better than if i use a near max amount of Bh209. This load makes similar peak pressure as a 3 pellet load or less if a pellet cracks yet they recommend 3 pellet loads?

This was with 60gr of Re7 which is a slow burner. These sabots look really good for moving over 2600fps.
