Hey Scruffy.... Hevi-shot Sabots FYI
« on: June 15, 2004, 03:18:41 AM »
Just got a newsletter from Hevi-Shot and they are coming out with sabots for black powder shooters. The sabots come in one caliber (.50 caliber with sabot) and three grain weights - 250 grain, 300 grain and 350 grain.
They should be in stores in the next couple of months... MTNMAN :grin:

Seen 'em shooting hogs with these on the Outdoor Channel the other night. 250 grainers at 70 yds. and at 20 yds. Clean kills at both ranges.

Hmmm.  I've also heard they will/are making foster deer slugs out of hevishot.  My question is do they expand?  I'd like to see the saboted rounds used on those hogs!  For hogs and bears and other dangerous game I think they'd be the ticket.  If I was a guide in Alaska and had a shotgun backup or was just hunting big grizzly's I'd definitely be looking into them.

But for whitetail I'd like to see how they expand or know if they just blow a hole right through.
