RE: pointed sabots
HP
I never said "no expansion"!!!!!!!
I only expressed that proper bullet activity is present at 120 grains... dependent on where the bullet hits the animal. If you use 118 gr.equivalent.. that's how much 100 gr. 777 equals with Pyrodex RS/Goex (on average), then yours will still expand.... but in a majority of these bullets, not optimally.... maybe 90-98% effective (on average). Overall, these are premium bullets meant for game larger than deer when used in standard MLs.
Basically (not always & without using decimals)
85 777 = 100 Pyro
90 777 = 106 Pyro
95 777 = 112 Pyro
100 777 = 118 Pyro
