[QUOTE="PillsburyDoughboy, post: 5705510, member: 14197"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://chuckhawks.com/tony_knight_2009.htm?expand_article=1[/URL] I had to dig deep in the archives to find this quote from Tony Knight himself. He preferred Sabots over bore size bullets. I tend to agree with him on this subject. I have had the same great success with the inline market. I think the only way I would tend to stray away from sabots if I were going after something that could eat me or something the size of a ELK. But there are Saboted Bullets in the 300 Grain and 400 Grain Class that are up the task. Especially if you step up to .54 Cal.

You can get better accuracy, better trajectory, and better downrange terminal performance with sabots than possible with bore-sized slugs.
