Default RE: Sabot

Rebel...I assumed you would be using these for deer. However if we are talking hogs just look at the energy #'s instead of trajectory...



Given todays sabot technology, allowing sub-caliber projectiles, trajectories like these should already be a thing of the past. Modern sabots can already be loaded with premium bullets allowing almost 100% weight retention, and rifle like ballistics.
Historically the problem has been finding a gun /sabot combination that works well. With todays longer barrels and premium bullets not only are the trajectories becoming mush flatter but accuracy in most guns is improving markedly.
Although this specific Sabot may not shoot well in your gun, there are many others capable of these balistics...

This is what I shoot currently....

Remmington Core-Lokt Ultras....

BALLISTICS
Velocity (fps) Energy (ft-lb) Drop (in.)
Muz. 50 100 Muz. 50 100 50 100 150
12ga 1770 1648 3086 2682 2325 1.8 2.4 0.0â€*


And NO that is not a typo. These do retain TWICE THE ENERGY at 100yds
And YES that is correct. These can be ZEROED AT 150 YDS !
