Those bullets loaded really tight in my deerhunter also. I only use conicals in it now unless I can find a thinner walled sabot.Maiden voyage indeed. I should also acknowledge that, true to sidelock form, I did have one load that failed to go off. Cap popped but no boom. Waited a minute, recapped... shot again, and boom. Barrel is definately tighter than my CVA Wolf, difficult to both start and finish loading the Hornady sabot... doable, but tight. Swabbed after three shots.
I recommend trying Hornady's PA conicals in the deerhunter. A box of 50 will run you less than 20 bucks.
