[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 458626, member: 2736"] The Sabots are not designed to shear the petals because they will affect the bullet flight as they shear of (They won't come off at the same time/distance. They are designed to allow the bullet to leave at some point without coming apart and normally found in one piece. If you will notice, The Sabot extends just past the bullet ogive and as soon as the Sabot leaves the barrel and starts to decelerate the shock wave will push it back releasing the bullet while it is still rotating. There are some Sabots that are in two halves and separate cleanly but they are on the larger rounds. I tried loading some and found that if I used Molly coated bullets they released the bullet sooner improving accuracy. But the Sabots never shot as accurately as standard bullets. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
