i'd love to see how it did with some 225gr powerbelts. In the .45s ive owned, that 225 put them all to shame.

The most accurate sabot I have found in my Hawkens with that 45 LRH barrel is the 200 gr SST with the tan sabot. It shoots1" groups at 100 yards. with 90 grains of T7 or select and a Remington cap. i still have a lot of expermenting to do with it as far as conicals though.
It wouldn't shoot powerbelts at all except for the 300 gr Platinum. The 225 and 195 regular powerbelts never would come together, even with only 80 gr. The platinumsd grouped at about 2" or a little over

greatplainshunter thanks for the information on the Shockwaves. I will pick some up on Monday. Also welcome to the forum. Its nice to have you here.

Hey there greatplainshunter. Have you put any of those 200 SST's into deer yet?

Actually no. I usually hunt with my 54. or 58 so I have only shot the 45 at paper. plus I only got the barrel a few months ago. I might use it next season just to see what it does.
