thks.. really happy to had find a such good forum.

for your question yes we can shot sabot, and the type of hunt will be mixed with mostly open area.

I had just bought a Thompson Encore Pro Hunter 28"

Look to hunt in northern saskatchewan

If you plan to hunt in northern Saskatchewan you'll find a lot of timber and ranges will be shorter so sight in at 100 and you should be good.

OK

I would Suggest Buying 3 Diff. Bullets Like Barnes Spitfie TMZ 250gr Or 290gr Also T/C Shockwave 250gr or 300gr and the Parker Balistic Extreme 250gr or 275gr .

As far as powder try triple 7 2fg or pyrodex RS Start off at 80 or 85gr by VOLU. and you can work your load up until you find a charge that works with a paticular bullet.

I would sight in for 1" high at 100yds that way if you need a longer shot like 150 to 200 yds you won't have to hold so high. BUT I WOULD TRY TO KEEP MY SHOTS UNDER 150yds. or even better 100yds becouse 200yds is a hard shot to make even with some one that shoots alot.

I shoot 95gr of 777 and a 290gr Barns Spitfire TMZ out of my Knight Disc Extreme with some great ACCUR. Shot a nice Doe opening day at 90 or 95yds she never took a step ( DRT ) shot a second doe a few days later at about 115yds she jumped went 15yds and bellyed up.

I like a heavyer bullet for the better down range energy.

My PH likes three Shockey's Gold Sticks and a 300 grain Nosler... but these are great guns so I don't think you will have a problem finding a good load. Also try the 260 grain Nosler and 110 grains of 2f 777. I would load both these bullets in a MMP HPH 24. Good luck!

You might want to start with the 250 gr. T/C shock-waves and load 100grs, 105 grs and 110 grs of 777 powder. Loading in 5 grain increments does make a difference in obtainable accuracy in modern in-lines.

Try the Barnes TMZ bullets as well...they are pricey but well worth the price.
Be sure to mouth wet a patch after each shot and clean after 3 shots.
