[QUOTE="hubel458, post: 791887, member: 6474"] Some more info about our sabots and various slug weights...... First and most important is our sabots fitting real tight like the Accutip Sabots, they will not get the same speed at the same pressures as the undersize grey and blue ones, But they do leave the barrel headed straighter and without damage, even with hollowbase 58cal slugs in them as the pics above show. No cards under slugs in sabots., But with good powder seals, using Alliant Steel, and good 1/4" minimum cushion wads. The 440gr Minie slug of .575" in the 3" cases is the one I used as a base loading, to work each way by weight to find what loads of Alliant Steel work and extract in my NEF. Using 3" soft base cases. Here is pic of before/after of Fiocchi cases, on right unfired and left fired, 55gr Steel with 440 gr slug. [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/expansion.jpg[/IMG] For 440gr max of 55gr Steel For 400gr max of 57gr Steel For 360gr max of 59gr Steel For 490gr max of 52gr Steel. For 510gr max of 49gr Steel For 540gr max of 47gr Steel. I tested all these weights for extraction. It is real nice to reach into a bucket, grap a sabot that fits right, and go to loading and shooting. Many of you need to get in on the fun. Here is picture of Fiocchi with sabot, roll crimped. The top of sabot is perfect for roll crimping...It is setting under crimp tool in drill press. [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/sabloadcrimp.jpg[/IMG] Earler I showed the 585HE Falling block with pistol grip and the light barrel. Here it is with Knoxx Compstock buttstock. We added 2 extra springs inside for relatively hard recoiling gun, as stock originally made for a REM 870 Pump. Works great and looks nice; will putting one on the Magtech 585HE singleshot break action and got one in rifle stock for Ruger 77 in 585HE. [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/fbwknoxx.jpg[/IMG] And many guys want wildcats with shoulders, with big neck down, so in developing the ultimate 700 blaster, here is the 700HSM. Shown next to Gibbs 650gr ball powder..1000gr at 3800...How about that. Will be one of only 2 guns I plan on being over 30 lbs, other is 2bore.. Whoppee.....Ed [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/700hsm2.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
