[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 119155, member: 1290"] I read something somewhere where a guy was reloading using sabots and he was claiming good accuracy. He had to machine a groove around the sabot so that the bottom of the groove was flush with the base of the bullet. That way the petals would break away clean on exit of the muzzle. I was again reminded after watching the military channel and seeing how the stabilized penetrators worked that the Abrams tank fired. The key being the extreme velocity afforded by the sabots. That in turn made me think of the military experiments with the 378 cases and aluminum bullets getting something like 6500 feet per second. If we could apply some of this science to a decent bullet it would take the sport to the next level much the way the Allen Magnums have. [/QUOTE]
