Title: Sabots for Barnes Spitfire TEZ 290 grain
Post by: crowinghen on October 01, 2016, 09:15:36 PM: I went hunting today- first time with my muzzie- of course it rained!:(
so I wanted to check my powder,so I unloaded it . it had gotten some condensation. Now I have a bullet that has a marked up sabot. If I replace the Sabot, what ones would be a match for this bullet?
They go pretty well in the barrel- so the ones that come with those bullets are fine, but can't seem to find just the sabots.
Thanks in advance!

Try grabing a new sabot and bullet for your hunt. sure would suck to miss because you wanted to save a $1 on a bullet! When a day in the woods and a tank of gas costs more then that bullet.

Just thought I'd update!
