Going to Idaho--- Bullet help

[time2hunt]

Going to Idaho can't shoot sabots and powerbelts will not group what do you recommend for a 50 caliber bullet.

Really, are sabots illegal there?

[time2hunt]

Ya no sabots or pellets    Everything else is the same as Washingtons laws

Try something like a TC Maxi-ball. What is the rate of twist on you smoke pole?

[time2hunt]

1 and 28 twist the 295 grain powerbelts would not group going to try a little lighter bullet and go from there.

[bobcat]

With a fast twist like that you want to go with the heavier/longer bullets, not lighter and shorter.

 Im will to try anything as long as I can hit something

Maxiballs .. is my vote since no powerbelts or sabots...

I have a  1-28 twist and have had good luck with the 320 maxi's out to 125 yards. Anything farther and they won't group, but 125 is beyond my comfortable range anyway. I tried the 275's and they would not group past 50.

Thanks guys

So Idaho does not require an all-lead bullet, like Oregon does? (and like Washington until it changed last year)

I use .503-460 grain Bull Shop conicals... which is not going to help you a lot right now as they are hard to get.... but Dave @ NO Excuse bullets build practically the same thing...



When are you coming over?

What rifle will be shooting?

Yeah I kinda thought so but I was going by what he said- that the only difference between Idaho and Washington is that Idaho doesn't allow sabots...
