RE: What sabot,etc. to use?
Make sure it's American Pioneer FFF. The AP FF is pretty coarse... like rock salt...lol. Also... Don't buy those sticks either... they're a rip-off.
I've read the Kodiaks & Optimas like 348 Powerbelts & 300 grain XTPs & SSTs the best overall with around 100 grains..... most of em' anyways. Easy gun to clean, just keep your AP powder charges at 120 or less & return the gun to the store for an exchange before you shoot it - if the trigger is heavy.
