slugshooter Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Not sure if anyone has posted anything about these, I was wanting to try them and my local Wal-Mart has them red tagged now so I picked up a pack of .50 cal 250 grain. Anybody tried them? Also picked up some Pyrodex pellets, T/C pre soaked cleaning patches. I love the end of hunting season for one reason, the deals you can get on stuff you've been wanting during the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Re: Hornady Lock and Load Sabots Thanks for the article Randy. I think they are worthless also, but more than that,filling the hole on the pellets cannot help what-so-ever with ignition too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Re: Hornady Lock and Load Sabots I was wondering why anyone would buy those....I wouldnt. If you got them on the cheap thats fine, but I would not pay full price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
