I'm really liking this idea the more I get into it. I've read the Savage is designed to use sabots. Tight sabots so the proper pressure will build up. They're also supposed to act as a safety valve too, and the sabot will blow out with too much pressure. Is that true?

If it's true. I wonder how Toby blew up the barrel? Double load maybe?


So, my plan is still forming, but i'm thinking like this. Smokeless ML for rifle seasons. Caplock with real BP and a PRB for ML season. Elk for smokeless, and deer for traditional. Whatcha think?
