Sabot loader and companyWhat's your opinion on this bullet? http://www.knightrifles.com/product-category/muzzleloader-bullets/bloodline-muzzleloader-bullets/I am thinking I want to use this bullet. I like heavy. I was thinking 110 grains Pyrodex RS. Anybody shoot this? Better alternative with same weight or heavier? Jeff
I didn't try the Bloodlines in my new CVA Optima because I heard they were real tight and difficult to load. Instead I bought some Barnes 290 grain TEZs. Glad I did, they load easy but aren't too loose and they shoot great.
How do you like the red sabots that come with bloodlines? Are they too tight or just right? Do you like them or use the orange ones or something even different?
Is the procedure for shooting sabots to clean between each shot?
Is it critical that I use a special bullet start and ramrod tip for these bullets as to not deform them, or will I be okay we a flat attachment to push them down the barrel?
They seem damn hard. I think with 110 or 120 grains of powder I should be able to pull off a shoulder shot on a bull elk if under 100 yards.
Great! Thanks Sabotloader. You are a wealth of knowledge. I truly appreciate your willingness to help others. So, do you think 110 -120 grains of Pyrodex RS will be enough to get the needed velocity? I used to shoot 110 with the 405 grain Powerbelts, but those weren't near as long as these. I'm excited about this bullet! It's a really cool design!
