You've got a point, H&H. Standard response to my trad style M/L( TC High Plains Sporter, 375 gr Buffalo bullet in 50 caliber, 80 gr of 3F) is they run a little and fall down.

Sabots either drop them in their tracks or more often,they run a lot further before dropping. Since we hunt swamps and wetlands, we'd rather see a consistent short run and humane, quick kill rather than a sometime thing.

I guess I've taken 10 or 12 deer this last decade with my setup, missed one, recovered all others, no cripples, no long lingering suffering.

One of my buds had pressed me about getting an inline for its supposed longer effective range with all those Pyrodex pellets. He helped me drag out Doe #2 and has been silent on the subject since.
