[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2842766, member: 9299"] Will do. I am a bit concerned the material composition of these older sabots may not hold up well in the 300 RUM and much beyond the 5,000+ mark of the heavy 30-06 load, for in a few past after firings, I found a couple of the sabots that showed signs of distortion that I believed was affecting the accuracy at the higher ends. I really need to find, or make, a better sabot created from a better material for the very high velocities, pressures and heat. Quite some time ago, I read an article by another loader/experimenter who machined his own 2 part separating, discarding sabots from either hard nylon rod or Delrin. It is along these lines, except using a 3 part discarding sabot, I would like to experiment with larger and heavier bullets for higher speed in standard calibers other than 30cal/.224 bullets. I am thinking of a bore rider type that covers the longer 6mm, .257, .277 etc. bullets [/QUOTE]
