Sure Shot Mc Gee

Being a long winter and having little to do and kind'a stuck indoors. I've been bumping around the web reading different Smoke Pole sites. One trivial item I noticed from site to site. So many fellows shooting Traditional style weapons leave me with the idea they feel it's necessary (for them) {and suggesting to others} too hunt with sabot & pistol bullets~ REAL~ or maxi projectiles weighing from 200 up over 500 grains in weight" <-Really!!~~~ Primarily said to do with 50 cal barrels more often than any other traditional weapons caliber. _So on more than one occasion I was left with the thought "the heavier the projectile the better." But,_" I must have missed that announcement."_ Because I haven't been doing the same.
I know its personal choice and it's always good to help a fellow brethren out. But is it speculation or fact._ I can't prove differently. All I have is a puny little 45 cal. using a tinny patched ball and somehow managed to harvest deer out to 100 yards with every now and then. I guess those times must have been> "Luck of the Irish"__ So~oo
What are your thoughts on heavy weight sabot and other un-patched projectiles being used in Traditional style 1-48 twist rifles to harvest deer size animals? (advantages or just personal preference or both)
Do you have any sweet experiences or disappointing tragedies to share concerning the subject?
