Drill out your breechplug, install a fresh ventliner, and use .452 standard 250 or 300 grain Hornady XTP's with short black MMP sabots, for starters.
The breechplug was drilled out and a fresh ventliner was installed. Both were cleaned prior to use and during use.

Is the use of the green sabots with comparable weight bullets a safety issue? Are they inherently less accurate?
