Does anybody use these for whitetail?

I'm trying to develop a long range sabot loading for my Encore to take advantage of the fact that I can use both sabots and a scope here in TX.

I've used pwerbelts in CO for elk with GREAT results but I found that PBs didn't stay together very well at high velocity impacts. I only used 100 gr 777 and just limited myself to 100 yards and they worked great. But now that I can use a scope I'm going to start with a 150 grains.

    I use precisoin rifle dead center duplex 195 grain bullets, and 100 grains of FFF Triple Seven in my TC Encore. It doesnt recoil to bad and it is very accurate. I have shot this combo for the last 2 years and had no problem at all. Shot a doe a year ago at 200 yards she went 10 yards. Seems to be a good combo for me. They also make 175 grain bullets.

    Lew, you will need a limbsaver on that thing with 150grs of 777.

    Man what would it be like to take a buck at 200 yds with a smoke pole?

    I am jealous good luck

    I don't have maps worth having yet but I'm working on it. I put a limbsaver on it to go with the .375 H&H but yah I bet it kicks like a donkey. I'm putting the 2-7 Burris on it. It feels like I'm cheating but what the hell.[8D]

    I have shot precision rifle bullets for 5-6 years. either 200 grain dead center or the 195 grain extended range bullets with 90 grains fff powder. does a number on whitetail and coyotes from 30 to 175 yards(iron sights) and kicks like a 410 if that.
