I haven't used my Remington Model 700ml for three deer seasons. I'm planning on breaking it out this year and going after an early season buck. I began muzzleloading 15 years ago with a Thompson Center Hawken rifle using round balls. I then went to Hornady Great Plains bullets and finally four years ago to sabots. I used a sabot that shot a XTP bullet and had fairly good accuracy. It knocked down a whitetail buck with no problem, but both the balls and Great Plains bullets did the same in previous years.
<br>
<br>Now to my question, do any of you fellas have any opinions on which sabots shot best, accuracy wise and terminal wise? I plan on buying 4 or 5 different sabots this summer and seeing which one shoots best out of my Remington. Any input will help me narrow down a rather large field of sabot offerings. Thanks

Best advice I can give is to go to the Precision Rifle Site.....Cecil will give you the straight skinny and his stuff is the best, most accurate, best ballistics available with the new Triple 7 loads.
<br>P.S. The new "Dead Center Polymer Tipped sabots are somethin' else!!!!!
