[QUOTE="WRG, post: 607364, member: 13638"] Like I said try the Harvester sabot. The barnes sabot is smooth and not as thick and will hang onto the bullet for 25-40 yards down range. The Harvester is a crushed rib sabot and a little thicker resulting in a more consistant buttercup that falls off the bullet in under 10 yards. The longer a sabot hangs onto a bullet the longer it takes that bullet to stabilize. The pedals of a sabot are like a parachute however if one or two side bend back more than the others or even break off, it will cant the bullet in flight making it more differcult for the bullet to stabilze. These Harvester sabots are a "consistant" uniform buttercup like shape with no broken pedals when you pick them up down range. With my load they actually drop off after 8 yards. I have done extensive testing with all sorts of sabots. It does make a world of differance in the accuracy. Try it for yourself ;) 50 sabots for $9 bucks.
