sabotless .45
Hi guys
I learned lots of things out here so my turn to contribute. For the benefits of others I would like to share with you an experimentation and the results.
After reading many post about sabotless shooting I decided to give it a try.
Components are:
Knight DISC .45 (first gen)
Parker Ballistic Extreme in 275gr
BH209
Regular sabot… yes at first I thought it may be better to have some kind of a wad so I clipped petals and kept the base only.
First I shot 100gr vol with and with-out wad. I got better accuracy with-out wad so I decide to go this route.
Second try as been with 120gr Vol. Bingo, it shoot ¾’’ groups back to back at 110yds. I stretched it to 200yds and it kept the same accuracy, printing a 2’’ group.
Fast forward, now time to hunt the late season and get some meet. I had a chance on a good size doe quartering away at 215yds. It was my last day so I decided to take the shot.
I can’t be happier with the outcomes. Braking 2 ribs on its way in, drills both longs, top of the heart and 1 rib going out in the shoulder area. It was not a past true so I expect to find the bullet in a muscle.
Deer ran lest then 30 feet with massive blood loss.
I think I am a new sabotlees fan!
The only other bullet going in my bore is Barnes bullets. I have TMZ and MZ, is anybody have try these?
Cheers
