Hornady Low Drag SST_ML *WOW*


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else tried these?? They load so much easier than the older style and with great accuracy. I can load these without even getting up from the shooting bench! If you are tired of struggling to get that sabot down the barrel give these a try! I am shooting the 50 cal 250 gr sabot. I am shooting the ones without the easy loading tail, has anyone tried those?

I haven't tried the new ones, but I had been using powerbelts and last year was going to the SST's because I like the Shotgun slugs so much. I would have used them, but the old ones were so hard to load especially on the 3rd or 4th shot. I am going to stick with the Powerbelts this year, because I am already sighted in, but next year I will switch to the Low Drag SST's.

I shoot a .45 Cal, so finding them may be a bit of a challenge, but it can be done.

I have the TC Omega & the TC Encor Pro Hunter

out of the Omega i couldnt get verry good accurecy with the SSTs, i found that the XTP 240g with 100g Triple 7 i could get 1" at 100yd 2" at 200yd

with the SSTs 300g and 150g Triple 7 i was able to get 1" at 100yd but it got sloppy at 200yd

i just got the Pro hunter and it doesnt like the SSTs, and is just OK with the XTP. It likes 250 powerbelts with 120g losse triple 7 that the Omega didnt like

Wow, again! I guess I am settling for less than I can get. I am shooting a Pro Hunter and I am getting 3-4" groups at 100 yards with using 150 gr triple 7 pellets. I may have to try your ammo configuration... I am happier this year as my eye prescription allowed me to get the 1X (non-magnifying)scope waiver for ML season, ok lemme hear it from the purists ;-)

just a FYI i was using a Prostaff 3X9 scope, i use to use the muzzie for deer gun season, laid 2 out during early doe. i just picked up a new Savage 220F that i plan to use for opener, but i will have the Encore close by.

Also my Encore likes the XTP 240gr with 100gr Trip7, it gets 1 1/2" at 100yd. both deer dropped in there tracks.
