First off I wouldn't pick your powder bullet combo before you have a gun. Every gun has different bullets and powder they like the best. Both my gun's like the Barne's tmz bullets. It's just one likes them with 80 grns of 777 and the other likes them with 100 grns. When your picking out a gun make sure that it fits you. That you are comfortable with it. From what I understand the 1:28 barrels will stabilize a sabot better then a 1:48. How much does the NW explorer cost? Have you looked at the Knight Bighorn or the Cva Elkhorn. I've had some bad experiences with the traditions.  :twocents:
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

You may just be one person in this world. But you may be the world to just one person.

your right about the powder and bullet i would try other to see what the gun likes.I have and elkhorn and it is a great starter gun but hard to
clean and one drop of water it starts to rust.Last elk season in the snow it was it would start to rust every day and i would have to clean it at night.the tc is about 350$ and it fit me good but it is the 1in48 twist.
