[QUOTE="hubel458, post: 811229, member: 6474"] What causes sabot problems/inaccuracy. Some pictures will help. First 2 shows a skinny post that pushes on a cushion or sabot bottom and it can bend or deflect which if that way when exiting barrel can start sabot or slug crooked. [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/28badwad.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/16badwad.jpg[/IMG] And more important item that can cause lack of accuracy is if base of discarding sabot tapers or steps down so that it isn't real tight as it leaves bore, which can allow it to be cocked. On the left is our sabot which has base right and other brand which tapers a bit. Easy to see. [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/badtaper.jpg[/IMG] Next is a ball and slug load in 2 of our sabots. A 285gr .575" ball flattened, put in the bottom and 400gr Minie above, two different styles of Minies. [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/ballslugsab.jpg[/IMG] Here is couple 16ga discarding sabots I made from the undersize 12ga grey ones. Didn't have to take off much. Much better use for them. I made them, after Paul in Alaska asked about where to find 16ga ones, to see what they looked like. They still use 50cal slug.. Ed [IMG]http://www.gunownerstv.com/16gasabots.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
