They better pitter patter and get back at it because if it is not in stock people will pattern another brand and stick with it. Accutips have been like hens teeth for over a year - I have about 20 sabots left and when they are done and if no Accutips are in stock I will be moving to another brand.
same here we usually use acu, but last year couldn't find anything, i used hornadys and expanders last year , but with my shotgun anyways, it seemed like the hornady shot really weird, they pack quite a punch too. expanders shot great, but the meat loss was unbelievable.Quote:

OK,they have the ammo end on a roll. That's great news,indeed. Now,let's see what happens with the firearm end. I can't wait to see what Sturm,Ruger does with the Marlin brand.
Come on Accu-tips.......can't live without them.
Deers can...quite well;););)Quote:

Anyhow,while not using for hunting(yet) i developed really good feeling for Federal 7/8 oz 2 3/4' inch simple lead sabot.In 20 g.
They cost half the price of the Accutip ,easy to obtain (even TSC sells them).
Accu tips will be $30+ a box this year you watch. I seen a $7 a box increase from Aug- Nov last year....good thing I have 30 boxes...

I'll be using mine sparingly until they can hopefully get some on the shelves again. Spent over $200 on slugs and the accutips shot the best and by a considerable margin.Quote:

I hope they bring back the rifle Hyper Sonic Ultra Core Lokt. I used these for black bear and they knock them stone dead
Those were the ones I was hoping would shoot well in my rifled 20ga SX3 but they would not. I used them in my old 870 12ga and they performed better on deer than the accutips.Quote:

Do the Accutips shoot good out of the SX3 though?Quote:

Yes the accutips shot great, made a smiley face with each slug touching at 75yds. I think the others I tried were barnes expanders, hornady sst, and win partition gold and none of them gave me anything that looked like a grouping at all. Spent 2 days sighting in a scope. Had to quit the first day, I was getting worked up,had me thinking it was the gun or the scope. The accutips were the last ones I tried, should have tried them first. lolQuote:
