[QUOTE="edge, post: 421798, member: 5030"] WHAT? No way the bullet is coming apart at that velocity! If you are shooting a 50 caliber rifle and trying to get a 40 caliber bullet to shoot you are asking for trouble! With most smokeless loads you should NOT try to shoot a bullet more than 0.050 less than bore diameter! In a 45 caliber that bullet gets shot at over 3,000 fps with no problem. I have been shooting smokeless in ML's for 9 years and your problem is without a doubt sabot related :) edge. [/QUOTE]
