[QUOTE="ATH, post: 422282, member: 1656"] It's not the bullet, it's just the math of the bullet+sabot diameter compared to your bore. If the SWs are tight, your sabot is too big. That's it. They make thinner sabots for tighter bores. Not only does PR seem to ship with sabots sized on the small side, but the all lead bullets they will deform and go down the bore easier if the fit gets tight. I'm curious how fast you are pushing them accurately, I have never broken 2000 fps with those bullets in any gun and maintained any reasonable accuracy. For me, that sort of velocity limitation was frustrating with bp subs, and totally negated the advantages of smokeless. [/QUOTE]
