[QUOTE="MAX, post: 6522, member: 184"] Gotta say something here about the labor you spent on that. Whatever twist is required to stabilize a bullet fired in an appropriate bore size will also be required in a sabot application assuming similar velocity. There's no way around that, no black magic from sabots. Your dedication and curiosity is noteworthy but the result of your experiment predictable. In general terms I doubt any of the conventional jacketed spitzer or boat tail bullets can be stabilized in a sabot ML configuration. Their intended application is in rifles with twist rates 2-3 times faster than most ML's intended for conicals. [/QUOTE]
