[QUOTE="hubel458, post: 756430, member: 6474"] Last picture above shows what can be with sabots. It was thought to be 20ga size when we got picture, but it is a smaller 45cal caliber sabot with 30cal streamlined bullets in them. This was set up by the poster 'edge' on Castbullets forum. More info on the SPW sabots with 520 gr Lyman reworked and locked into them. With 3.5" brass RMC in the NEF long barrel gun, going about 2500 they smash though 6" timber with Lyman tearing wood up. Also got the same combo 2200 in 3.5" plastic. Lyman in sabot on the left in picture on right is factory SPW. [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/lymanspw12.jpg[/IMG] Another setup using the largest diameter 58 Minie I have is this .590" in this 12ga real thick muzzleloading wadcup for steel shot. I chamferred the bottom of Minie slug and wedged it in the cup. The cup comes real long and we cut it off. That leaves perfect edge to roll crimp against. Dab of epoxy holds the Minie slug in, so it works like a non-discarding sabot. This wad has is own seal and fairly short compared to others, so it leaves room for more of our slower powders. Shorter slug and wad setups make loading easier. [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/58inmzwad.jpg[/IMG] Here is picture of the Magtech we redid in the 585HE by mono-blocking in 585 barrel. This is second one we've done. Tried out a ladder peep sight on the back. Makes a neat gun.That underlever is a great touch.Ed [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/585mt3.jpg[/IMG] As part of the 585 test guns have smooth barrels, they are like a hopped up 24ga. We got couple bags of 24ga cards and felt wads. Easy way to use reduced loads as the wads are perfect in 585 case. For comparison top load say with RE17 and 650gr bullet is 170gr, but you can put in 100gr and card and couple wads and have real easy load. And you don't have to worry about airspace. Great for reduced loads with Minie slugs. In the same vein you can put in a card over the powder and about 3/4 oz of shot and have a real speedy 24ga shot load equivalent. Put card over the shot and glue it in.Ed [/QUOTE]
