Caplock sabot

[Aussie_hunter_JD]

Hi guys,

I currently shoot an inline but would like to get myself a percussion cap rifle at some stage. We don't have a lot of offerings in Aus but Pedersoli seem to be most common. My question is can these rifles use mono sabot's or will they not have sufficient twist rates or not be able to handle the pressure?

Cheers

Depends on the rifle, but I'm pretty sure they make rifles with sufficient twist rates.

Sorry didn't ask the question correctly, what would be the limit in terms of twist rate for a 50 cal to accurately run sabots?

I wouldn’t go beyond a 1:48” and something in the 30s would be better probably. The 40s seem to be a compromise to run both balls and bullets but in my experience it’s been a compromise in accuracy for both. Not that I haven’t hunted with a 1:48...
