He won't stock any sabots. Nobody will buy them. Unlike me. Nobody uses a ML in rifle season where a sabot could be used.
Anyway, my point was, here's a bunch of hunters using PB's and doing fine with them.
I mentioned in a thread on Jon's forum about a thread I was in on a CF forum. We were talking about the Nosler Partition. As far as i'm concerned it's one of the best bullets ever made. Wouldn't you know it. Some guy posts the bullet is junk, and he couldn't kill anything with one. That's forums for you.
See you are in an odd situation because you can't shoot bullets with sabots in your area, and like you said he can't stock Thors. So that doesn't leave him with very many options, and many people are forced to use Powerbelts and it doesn't matter if they like them not.
The majority of the country, you can use bullets with a sabot so it's a totally different situation.
