yes for most sabots, powerbelts, saber tooth conicals, and even some conicals shoot well out of it. If you want to plink, load 50 gr of Pyrodex and a patched roundball. Many of the fast twist rifles do real well with a light powder charge and a patch and ball. It should really shine with the sabots though. Although let me say, a lot of inlines are tuned through experimentation with a lot of different sabots, bullets, and powder charge combinations.

its a great twist for sabots and conicals. with that traditions, i'd give the TC maxi hunters a try. Or if you can use sabots, try either the hornady sst or the XTP sabots.
