[QUOTE="edge, post: 117267, member: 5030"] I was curious to know if you have good accuracy shooting sabots? If you have problems with accuracy, I have found that sabot/bullet separation is normally the problem with rigid sabots ( unlike those used for most muzzleloading rifles ). [img]http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f126/edgeco2/CIMG0225.jpg[/img] If you have access to a lathe, I suggest a groove machined into the sabot that will ensure that the petals shear off. On the sabots in the picture the groove is 0.059 wide, 0.020 larger in diameter than the bullets base, and 0.020 beneath the bullet. This last feature is very important. I used to put the groove right at the base of the bullet, but when firing the bullet would actually extrude into this unsupported area. edge. [/QUOTE]
