About the saboted rounds. they're accelerators. its a 55 grain 22 caliber in sabot. the things are some kind of fast though, and extremely flat shooting out to 400 yards or so. the only problem is that factory ammo is kind of expensive(i bought a box for like 28 bucks). i'm not really sure what kind of pelt damage it does. i haven't had a chance to try it yet. i'll let ya'll know if i try them.
