Re: Sabots+BP?

I have field tested the Yukon and it is a good design especially for the inexpensive price. Trigger is good! It is a carbine and handles like one. I used mine on a Wyoming coyote hunt shooting pellets and 240-grain sabots and it was very accurate.

My observations on this topic are: a 209 primer system is awfully hot for black powder and unnessary... but should work (recommend the new milder primers made for muzzleloaders)... however contamination will be heavy and you may have to wipe more often even with the new "easy load" sabots which greatly improve sabot loading. In spite of what some of the gun writers claim black powder remains the most accurate choice because shot to shot velocities are much more uniform than any of the substitutes and especially pellets. Personally, I'd try FFFg for this rifle and sabots.
