Faster loading

Here's something a little different offered by Hornady

That's because sabot shooters have trouble counting to three consistantly. ::

Seems to me that thing would cause accuracy problems.
I guess that's why I don't shoot sabots.

[No Powder]

I speed up my loading by leaving out the powder. It's quieter too.

They are also illegal in many states for hunting. If your out at the range why the need for a quick load?

Fastest way I know of to get a second shot is to load 2 balls to begin with. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

That would be fast, all right, but no faster than a paper ctg. & probably not as fast due to the priming being in the ctg. as well.
: My 30" bl..69 rifle was an 8 second load and it was a cap lock, requiring a different operation to cap it. I sue a doubled leather capping 'wheel' with the caps in holes with cuts to the outside. Just push on and pull.
: Barrel length makes a big difference in time required. The longer the barrel, the more time it takes to withdraw the rod andpush the charge down.
: Interesting, with all the technology today, using powder plugs on a stick attached to sabots with jacketed bullets inside, & they still can't improve on the standard military ctg. of the 18th century.- COOL!
; The only thing that's changed is the marketing hype and gullibility of today's people.
