update on .50/.458 sabots in 1:48

[wabi]

The other evening I was pleasantly suprised when I got avery good group shooting a 350gr .458 cast bullet in a 50/458 sabot with 80 grains ffg T-7 in a 1:48 twist T/C NewEnglander.
Well, I had to try it again, but this time used fffg Goex. The light wasn't quite as good this evening and with the open sights I expected groups to open up a bit. They did, but still shot well.About 3" @ 100 yards. At 100 yards I was stringing them on elevation, but windage was a straight line.
I think I'll order a couple more packs of the .458 sabots!

Well it sounds like you are on to something. Those casted bullets must work pretty good. Next time I hit the range I will have to see what my 1:48 will do with some of my .458 in 405 grain (that actually weigh 423 grain).
