Apparently hot soapy water doesn't clean this stuff off well enough either, I noticed a catch in the barrel loading the first round so I probably didn't have it spotless to begin with. Plastic guns that shoot table salt, they are fantastic my wife and I sit on. XTP, harvester crush rib sabots in black. For elk, I use a 290 grain Barnes T-EZ sabot and bullet with 120 grains of. I'm shooting 80 grains of 2F, cci 209 primers, Hornady 45. Just curious if it is typical to get that much plastic left behind? Seems excessive. Sabot slugs are quite different than rifled slugs.Instead of simply loading a slug into the shell, sabot (pronounced say-bo) slugs are fitted inside a small plastic cylinder that covers the projectile on all sides but the front. Upon cleaning my barrel later I found a lot of plastic residue built up in the bore. What is the difference between a sabot and a slug Sabot Slugs include a plastic cylinder that covers the sides of the encased projectile. I eventually got it seated to depth on my ramrod and the moment had passed. I thought sure I'd bend the ramrod, that bullet was very stubborn. The manufacturing processes at Hornady ensure extreme precision, uniformity and accuracy.

Then I could see more deer coming so I began to reload since I had 3 more doe tags. Whether you shoot the Lock-N-Load® Speed Sabot or the more traditional round ball or lead bullets, all Hornady muzzleloading products provide exceptional accuracy and the terminal performance that hunters continue to rely on season after season.

I have had zero shot ops until yesterday when I was covered up in deer. As far back as high school in the late 90’s I was never happy with the shotgun slugs at the time so I shot an in-line muzzleloader all through firearm season in the shotgun zone of Michigan. Well I killed a doe in NY with my inline yesterday. It is a plastic specificity designed to handle the heat and pressure of burning black powder.
