I know this is an old post but has anyone seen these in the stores?

I want to try 'em, but the guy running the local shop has never even heard of them....

Guess I could check Midway, or other on-line sources, but I hate to pay shipping if I don't hafta....

I have looked at them at Wally World but have yet to find anyone who has given them a try. Would be interested to know how well they perform.

My Encore has a tight bore and I have trouble pushing sabots down it now. If those things are any tougher to push down, I will stick with what I have.

Glenn, I also have an Encore and found the sabots a little hard to load. I have no trouble loading the PowerBelts and, with 1.5" groups at 100 yards, I can't complain about the accuracy.

I also had trouble getting them to start. I have since found out that they are .507 at the base and need to be smacked pretty good to start. I think I will stay with my Parker Ballistic Extremes until they come up with something easier to load. By the way, I never got one to start and read a report on them later, so that is the extent of my knowledge on FPB bullets.

I tried 'em the other day at the range, and prolly didn't give 'em a fair chance. The first one would load fairly easily in my Encore (the QLA muzzle helps), but unlike Honrady's claim, subsequent shots are extremely difficult to get down the bore. I fired 'em with 3 Triple Seven pellets and a Federal primer. Best group I had was just over 5" @ 100 yards (3 shots without cleaning the bore). Worst 3 shot group is unknown, since 1 not only missed the paper, it missed the entire target backer.

I didn't have time to vary my powder charge or primer (gettin' ready for Opening Day 12-01). I'll put the remaining ones away till next summer when I have more time to play with 'em.

I could not get them started in my Shadow, so nixed 'em!! I am using Blackhorn 209 so I know powder residue would not be a problem. Don't know if I will even try them again. I fgure they either work or they don't.

I just shot FPB's in my X-7 Omega on top of two triple seven pellets and a triple seven primer. First loaded pretty decent but tight area a few inches above pellets that might be built up plastic or metal fouling?? Second one loaded harder at triple seven ring but still doable if I needed a second shot on game. I put five shots in 6" bullseye at 100 yds, not great, but dead deer. I attribute accuracy to 1X scope only allowed in Wisconsin for deer hunting, if I could put 3-9X on it, I would shoot better groups. With 59 year old eyes and 1X, I sight on the outside of the paper target, not the bullseye. Dumb a@# Wisconsin. Still pretty good with FPB, will hunt with them today and report back
