    Getting a Sabot to Open ...

    The results are at 100-yards. Without working petals and with Triple 7 = 5-shot groups 6-inches. Working petals and with Pyrodex RS = 5-shot groups less than 3-inches. The rifle is a sidelock and has a 1.5X scope so under 3-inches is okay (not great) but way better than before (groups half the...

    Getting a Sabot to Open ...

    Groups were about 1/2 the size but more importantly, they were consistent. In the past, I would get two, even three shots in a decent group but could never get a 5-shot group under 6". These went into 3" over and over again, some touching and the main group 2" and a little bit. A few outliers...

    Getting a Sabot to Open ...

    Quick update: Today I spent time working the petals back and forth about 20X each. I left the sabot open and placed it on the muzzle, then seated the bullet and drove it in slowly. Of course the sabot closed around the bullet as it went down the muzzle. Another change was a switch from Triple 7...

    I am also wondering if I could work the petals back and forth before loading to soften them and get the bend started. Seems like it might help....

    Getting a Sabot to Open ...

    I have green Crush Rib Sabots. Using up to 100-grains of powder with either a 240 or 300gr XTP the sabots travel about 25-yards downrange and are barely opened. In the past I have used sabots that came with the projectiles (various) and most of them opened to a big "X" and travelled about...

    .50 cal 1:38" ROT

    I am eyeballing a sidelock rifle with a .50 caliber 1:38-inch rate of twist. I am seeking to extend my traditional ML to 150-yards with consistent accuracy (I currently have several that will do 100-yards all day long). I have looked at what I have and the PRB shooters are tough to stretch to...

    xtp for elk?

    Late to the party here but in 2015 used the .429 300 grain XTP in a green Crush Rib Sabot over 100 grains Triple 7 FFFg in a 1:48" sidelock ML. The cow elk was about 60 yards and the first shot hit low and she stayed on her feet and travelled about 75 yards. I closed the distance and found her...

    TC Hawken 1-48 twist and 240grn PA conicals

    I replied to your post elsewhere but will add to it here. I use 80 grains FFFg in my 1:48". It is sighted in dead-on at 100-yards. I have a little rubber mallet that I use to start them. The skirt does in the muzzle so that just the nose dome is sticking out. I don't want to mash that with the...

    LongHunter Society- New entries and Photo contest

    Thank you for the clarification. After further review I do not see a "member" requirement afterall. I just like the pin program for myself, but I think this year's Pronghorn with a flintlock will make the 63 minimum with room to spare, so I'm going to send it in when it passes the drying...

    I see this is for members only. It refers to record class animals. I want to know based on what scoring system? Does any representative example male of a species qualify or does it only qualify if it is like SCI, Boone and Crockett, etc. type score?
