The deal with the sabots never made sense to me. A 300gr .45 cal bullet will certainly kill an elk.
Even though this wasn't that much fun. I'm glad I did it now. I can use the sabots that I wanted to from the beginning, and my loose spot on the barrel isn't a problem now.
I had pretty much decided to hunt the rifle seasons with the MR from now on. I just don't feel right using a scope in ML season. Now i'm at a slight disadvantage to the rifle hunters. I like that better than some thinking I have an advantage with a scope in ML season.
Now I need to decide which bullet? Barnes, Lehigh, or Dead Center?
