group S295 The Capandball guys are testing Pedersoli guns again. They took one of our Missouri River Hawkens to the range to test it with plastic sabot bullest. Hunting loads of course. Check their report. Happy to see that our traditional rifle performs well with modern bullet concepts as well.

    Hi. Guys. Like the 1-23 "
    Just thought you might like to know. To hunt in the UK here are the requirements. 10cm 10cm at 100m group minimum. 1700 ft/lb then you have to have your Firarms listed on your Firarms certificate. And then you can buy expanding bullets. (Game has to be shot with expanding bullets) and that's it. I have two rifles that could do this. I have a .50 kodiack but it will not groop with 110 g 777 or pirodex.

    Folks people are using Black Powder to take game and shoot target competitions every year in and out. That means that Sabots are routinely used because lead balls or bullets are not allowed in a number of places. At the usual ranges most people shoot game animals. These kinds of weapons are perfectly functional. Maybe a little slower to reload. They do work.
