Hi all. I'm new to jacketed bullets with sabots. I've been to the range and had good luck with Hornady Monoflex 250 grain bullets on 90 volumetric grains of BH 209.
I was at Dick's today and wanted to pick up some more projectiles. They didn't have my Hornadys (they hardly had anything for muzzleloader supplies... a shelf smaller than an end cap), but they had Traditions Smackdowns in 250 grain. I bought one box and plan to test them out this week.
My question is: I was comparing the two, and the sabots are identical besides the color. Same with the spire point construction. But the Smackdown bullets are significantly shorter than the Monoflex ones. How can I expect this to affect my shots? I can find lots of info on the affects of a lighter or heavier projectile, and even on sabot length, but I couldn't seem to find much about bullet length. Can someone enlighten me?
