I'll call Cabela's see if I can modify the order.
Thank you all for catching that.

Buy a box of Buffalo S.S.B (SPECIAL SABOT BULLET) IN 375 gr there at Cabelas instead. You won't regret it. Also tell Cabelas to keep that 'thingy" you bought. You don't need that for muzzleloading either.

GIMMICK!

T7 I have one of those thingy's from cabela's. You are right it is not necessitty but if you get plactic or lead fouling it is a real help getting it out of the groove's. i have a friend that did not lube maxi balls very well and I worked with brushes and a lead remover work on the lands fine The Chief one did the trick just a different out look.

Johnny

You are the first to offer a report on that "thingy". Thanks!

What's also nice about them is nosmell/intake thru the lungs or nasal membranes-- plus noskin contamination from the harsh copper/plastic solvents.

If you really want to save money. I recently picked up 100ct. Hornady 230 grain XTP in a box for $16.00 and bought 2 bags of 50 each Knight High Pressure Sabots for $6.99 a bag. The bullets are .451 Caliber and the sabots are 50 cal for use with .451 to .452 cal. Shooting 1" groups @ 100 yards with 100 grains of 777 pellets(2x50gr.). 1 in 28" twist barrel. HAPPY HUNTING!!!!![8D]

If you could slug your bore in that Huntsman using a Maxi and you want a source of high quality reasonably priced conicals - take a look at Bull Shop's offerings. He can size from a bit over .504 to .500 and you might be pleasantly surprised athow well they shoot. My Huntsman handles the recoil from a big conical very well.

I have a correction for my previous forum entry...My rifle is a 1 in 24" twist instead of 1 in 28" and my barrel is 26.5" long. Very good quality and at an inexpensive price. I highly recommend the Cabela's Rolling Block Muzzy to all...[8D]

Cheap AND good bullet?

Try a plain old XTP. Last night I killed a doe at fifty yards. Bullet was a 240gr XTP, packaged as a TC MagExpress. High shoulder hit, deer was DRT - didn't take a step. Shattered all those bones/ribs that come together at the shoulder, and part of the backbone - found bullet under hide in front of off shoulder - perfect mushroom, looked like one of those pics in an ad. Couldn't ask for better performance. It was propelled by 90gr Pyrodex RS in a CVA Buckhorn.

LATER EDIT: Killed a spike with TC CheapShot - they shoot as well as XTPs in my rifle, and appear to kill deer just fine. I'm using them for my next hunt.
