shot two deer this year in PA one a doe in the early m/l season, using a percision silver lighting 300 grain green tip sabot.The other deer was taking during the regular big game season, using a percision qt's 45 cal 350 grain blue tip sabot.The charge was 70 grains of triple 777,in my 54 cal. thunderhawk.My finding are the green tip sabot has excellent pefomance ,broke both shoulder and there was a exit wound,deer went three step @ down.Now with the blue qt's 45 cal. sabot there was only one hole threw both lungs, with no exit hole,that what made tracking so hard.Distance on both deer were about the same 75 to 85 yards ,the poly tip qt's did not hit bone,but yet could not make a pass threw
The QT (blue tip) is designed to dump all its energy inside the cavity. Job done. Our Dead Center and SL are designed to shoot through. Both bullets did exactly what they are designed to do. Glad to see that everything is working and thanks for supporting our products.

I sent an e mail to percision this is what they had to say about the difference between the blue poly tips and the green silver lighting

cayugad I will stay with the silver lighting to me they are the better sabot bullet
The next choice is the hornady sst 300 sabot I am reading some great reviews on stopping power and how they shoot.
I also like the pyrodex select over the triple 777
My thunderhawk shoots 110 grains to 120 of select and you can shoot the gun all day ,now with triple 777 70 to 75 grains is more then enough before recoil is sharp .I do think if I had 120 grains of select behind that poly tip sabot this year on that 8 pointer it would have made a hole threw the other side .
NO WADS BEFORE THE SABOT
