The age old argument between light and fast versus slow and heavy will never be decided . I think it has a lot to do with personal preference and hunting situation . I do know I can shoot about 4 lead conicals for the price of I sabotless Parker Emax . Anyway I was curious as to whether or not in a hunting situation, not 500 yard target , if I would have a better group with sabotless emax or lead conical .
I needed to sight in the Vortex anyway so it was a good opportunity to try both at 100 yards and see what happened
I used a Lehigh bare primer adapter instead of RPJ
For the emax I shot 120 gr volume Blackhorn ,veggie wad and federal primer
For Ed’s conical I used 70 gr 777 in 3f , veggie wad and 777 primer
Same gun ( fast twist Knight ) front rest,no rear rest just the shoulder .
Results were what I expected
For hunting the accuracy of either is good enough for me and I can definitely practice more with lead than the sabotless emax
For the long range target shooters I am sure the sabotless emax is the hands down winner but for the rest of us lead is still a good option.
