Swamp_bucks Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Anyone use them? How do they perform? Ive been using the hornady sst but i havent been to impressed with there performance. Killed 3 deer within 50 yards and found the rounds almost completely intact in them. Dont use my my mossberg 20 much so i dont want to spend $15 a box for sabots. But i still want knock down power. These show 9 dollars a box. I use the power shock for my 30-06 with great outcomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they perform I have been using them and they work well and are accurate out of my Mossberg. The only problem if any is they are lead. I have always used federals and always liked their copper sabots but they are tough to come by.

Swamp_bucks Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Thanks. That was the one downside i saw when looking them up. But im going to try them out this year. If i dont like them ill have to look into the other ones you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I loved the Federal Premiums when they had the copper barnes expander bullets in them. I am glad I bought 20 boxes the year I did. They don't make them any more but they hit like a sledge hammer. I've used the Power shok at the range and they shoot as well, just not sure how they hit.

NonTypical Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) I used to shoot the Federal Barnes when they made them. Now I shoot the Federal Trophy Copper. They are just as accurate and just as lethal as the Barnes. In fact I just ordered a case of 10 boxes from ableammo.com for $11.19 a box. They will ship to NY.
