...or the time in '91 I had a big buck broadside at 35 yards. I put the crosshairs right on his heart and touched off. That buck didn't even flinch! The noise of my rifle shot made him trot off and me, shooting a Ruger No. 1, never had time for a second shot. I noticed a white spot on a 1" thick silver birch sapling over where the buck had been standing.... yup, a nice little hole from my .270 slug went in the front and came out at an angle. I never saw that sapling right behind the vertical line of my crosshairs. To help remind myself of these kinds of errors I cut that section of the sapling and have it to this day.

My brother was shooting at a groundhog with a Sako .223 Remington about 45 years ago. He was leaning over the front of Papa's new F-150 (our first with air conditioning) and put two little holes through the hood. I have forgotten what happened next....

Charlie, how did you make your sabot? What is the diameter of the bullet?

bill its not a sabot really...i borrowed some 1 7/8 ounce slugs out of 10 ga federal shells....the bores of the 8 ga parker were .845...i wrapped the 10 ga slugs with teflon tape till they were a measured fit for the remington s p 8 wad...used 40 grains blue dot powder....only had 5 slugs to reload the 8 ga shells with... shot 3 times at targets of 20 30 40 yards...resonable accuracy at 20 30 yards but missed the40 yard target...but i was shotting off hand at these ranges could have been me instead of load for the miss...only have 2 slug loads left hope to take a deer soon....should have the round ball ready soon when i get the mould....ball will be. .835 in diamter will have to weigh it to know how many grains it will weigh... charlie
