I went to shoot a new to me (slightly used) cva accura v2. I had some Hornady 225grain 44cal ftx laying around so I decided to shoot those. They shot excellent groups. .75 to 1 inch at 100 yards. That being said, I heard these bullets are not the greatest for deer so I went to try the Barnes tmz 290. Damn, it was almost impossible to load those things and yes that was on a clean barrel. I was using the green crushed ribs I had for 44 cal bullets on my Hornady bullets and those were easy to load. My question is can I use crushed rib sabots for the tmz? I believe they are 45 cal so if I can, can anyone recommend where to get them? Can you buy tmz without sabots and save money or do you have to buy the bullet sabots combo they sell? Thanks!
