Even after only 1 shot, I cannot get the sabot seated unless (probably not correct way) I use a hammer and a block. I've cleaned the barrel very well and the first load is easy. The 2nd load is a struggle. 100 grain isn't much powder, but could it also be the sabots? What do you think I should change?
I have a T/C triumph, I also used pyrodex pellets and had the same happen to me. I switched to Blackhorn 209 AND switch sabots. The sabots I switched to are the T/C Mag express sabots .451-.452(t/c # 8281). I shoot 95 grains of blackhorn 209 ( measured not weighed) the Mag express sabots and Barnes tez bullets. I think if you switch you will be happy with the gun. I asked the same questions on here and these guys gave me great advice! If you want go look at the threads I started and read all the great information these guys gave me. Hope this helps
