A 2 3/4″ 12ga, 456gr slug @ 1600FPS.
The newest addition to the Lightfield sabot slug line was the 2 3/4″ Commander IDS-sabot round, a 73 caliber bore size, deep pentation sabot. A 150yd do it all slug.
“STRICK LIMIT” 3 BOXES PER ORDER.
The wild boar hunters specifically ask Lightfield to develop a sabot round that would not blow up on the surface of Hogs, that are covered with dried caked on mud. The normal EXP sabots were expanding to quickly on the surface of the mud and offered very little pentation and weight retention. The 360 degree IDS-sabot used on this 73 caliber sabot round; controls the expansion rate and assures ample weight retention for deep pentation. It was designed to bore through hide, tough tissue and bone to penetrate deeper with a full bore size (.730ths. diameter – 465gr) Lightfield IDS-sabot slug.
It quickly gained a reputation for working on all medium big game, up to and including Black Bears. Thus the name “Bucks, Boars & Bears”. Not recommended for Black Bears above 500 pound
