Unloading question
I went pig hunting with Txjourneyman a month or so ago, didn't see a thing and didn't shoot the load outso I left my Optima Loaded. It's stayed loaded all this time,I may go hunting next Tuesday with TxJ if I'm lucky so I figured I should unload it and do a quick clean. should I push the bullet/sabot out the front or try through the threads out the breech?

RE: Unloading question
You can just pull the breech plug and the powder will fall out the back of the rifle. I then use a range rod and push the whole projectile and mess back out the muzzle so I do not damage the projectile. You might have to replace the sabot but the projectile will be fine.
