The belt is a gas seal, not a sabot. The bullet is full .54 caliber. Taken two elk and a moose, and I find them to be very accurate.

My 54 shoots patched round balls very well. 1" groups at 50 yards with iron sights, which is good considering I can really see good with my right eye, so that 1" is mostly me! I'm sure there are other options, aslo. I see good with my left I so maybe we can get together!!!
