Hello I'm new to your chat board. I have a question. I have an chance to hunt elk in Idaho in 2009. I own a Markesberry Rifle with a 1-26 twist rate. I have been shooting precision muzzloading sabot loads up until now and the rifle does very well with them. The rifle qualifies for Idaho hunting regs but the sabot load does not. When I called Precision they said that my rifle would not shoot non-sabot pure lead bullets (their conical any way) accurately because of the rifling groves and twist rate. I see by the Idaho regs that powerbelts are legal. Has anyone used a markesberry 1-26 twist with powerbelts? I would really like to hear about it and the preformance you get.
Any help will bring much thanks. I really don't want to buy another rifle for one state?
Thank You
