[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 997962, member: 33046"] I was using the identical sabot that Ken has, actually right from the baggie I got from him. Its the Harvester H5045LB. There IS a difference in the bullets and the WM is not the normal SST. I sent 10 of each to a guy that cut them in half, melted down the lead and by now he should know the jacket thickness. What he has already informed me of, is that the hardness of the lead IS different. [I]"The reading they were getting was a negative on every scale they used, the most accurate one showed the WM as a -180 and the SST as a -165 consistently. The WM are softer which may make them obturate easier in the sabot allowing better bullet to sabot to bore fit. I will try to measure jacket thickness here in a bit."[/I] [/QUOTE]
