[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1762602, member: 109113"] I recall having sabot problems with shotgun slugs years ago. They were two-part sabots, and sometimes one half would be found further down range than the other, which led me to believe that they weren't both falling off the slug at the same time. When this occurred ( which was usually in gusty conditions ) sometimes the slugs actually tumbled. We found a few that hit the target sideways, some broke in half and hit the target in pieces, and [I]some didn't hit the target at all.[/I] We had best accuracy on calm days, but how often is it calm on a November deer hunt ? We did kill a ton of deer with these loads, but we also missed a bunch of them and were left wondering what happened. While I'd like to try some sabots in a rifle to see what kind of velocities I'd get, I'm pretty sure that JE CUSTOM is right when he says the accuracy isn't going to be sufficiently good for long range work.
