 Yep and yep. But not all are good. Stay with the ones that have gray or black for color as they have a lube in the plastic. The others in my experance is junk.

 ;D don't get me wrong but isn't the point of having a TC is to be able to switch calibers / barrel   ??? seems to me that it would be  alot easier/cheaper to shoot 223rem for example rather then trying to find 30-30 accelerator ammo if you reload and can get the little sabots as components then disregard earlier. happy shooting, superdown

I want to play with something similar in the 3030. My thoughts are that a guy could carry a cast 170 for deer a light loaded cast 120 for small game and a .223 sabot for long range. Keep track of scope settings and tape them to the gun and you would be set for anything in the field. To me it would make about the ultimate survival gun. YOud be set for any circumstance and factory ammo woud be available anywhere.

the main concern i have is if they are accurate. And yes, if i can utilize my 3030 barrel for both rounds, why not?
Does anyone have or know of the end result using the 55gr. rounds?
