For those of you that have not tried these375 grain BUFFALO BULLET SSB bullet/sabot combinations I would suggest you might want to consider them. I had read some posts from another poster on the board known as Triple Se7en. Having read his posts and respecting his opinion I decided to try some of these sabots.

Yesterday I was out in the yard testing some NO EXCUSE CONICALS 460 grain at 88 steps (about 92-93 yards). I had a new shooting bench I was also testing which is proving excellent also... I was having an excellent day. It was in the low 70's buy windy. They shot fantastic. As I was about to call it a day the UPS man showed up with a large box from Cabela's. MORE BULLETS... I decided to try the the Buffalo Bullet sabots.

I field cleaned the rifle to give them a fair chance. I put up a new target and my first three shots hit about an inch and a quarter high over the bulls-eye (the no excuse conicals were dead on). The three shot group was more then respectable. Outside edge of the group to outside edge measured one inch exactly. I was shooting 100 grains of Goex FFg thinking that this would equal two pyrodex pellets or be close. I was giving the barrel a real good swabbing between shots.

The second group was hard to believe... I adjusted the point of aim on the target in the scope and shot the second three shot group. The only problem is I could not find the third shot. This means one of the hits was in the same hole or I missed a 20X24 inch piece of backstop cardboard with the missing phantom shot. I can see two distinct hits but the third I could not actually point at and say ... yes there is the third hit. Although one hole looks a little larger then the other coming off it.

I then decided to see how they shot from now a filthy unswabbed rifle and they still held a good group but hit two inches to the right. Whether the fowling caused this or the fact I had already fired over 30 rounds out of the rifle this day, who knows. I will do somemore testing with these.

Triple Se7en has given me some excellent advise in the past reference cleaning products and other things... As usual he hit right on the money when he suggested these sabots.. Thanks for the tip!! These spitzer style bullets would be an excellent hunting load.
