Here, up North (CAN) it is hard to have access to bullet and sabot. As my barrel is on the loose side, I have hard time to get HPH-12 sabot.
What do you think about my last idea? As I have a bunch of HPH-24 that are 0.002-3 to small I though about wraping a layer of Scotch tape arrownd the bullet?Thatmake the bulletabout .004 bigger.
First test looksvery good with the calipper and the fealing to push it down the barrel is also very good.
The real test will be tomorow at the rang, but did you ever try someting like this?
Well I never tried anything like that. But your results might be very interesting. What kind of rifle are you shooting? Instead of scotch tape, perhaps you could use teflon plumbers tape. That should come off the bullet in flight without effecting the bullet too much. Or paper patch the bullet.

I think Cayugad's suggestion regarding teflon tape has merit. Or maybe plain old printer paper (I almost said "typing" paper, but some of you young whippersnappers have never seen a typewriter except in the movies ). I would worry about the adhesive tape not coming off the bullet in a uniform manner, and causing instability as the bullet sheds the tape, or only part of it. But it's worth a try. Should be interesting.

Thanks for your help, Martin
I have heard of people using paper but not scotch tape, it will come off. the scotch tape may affect bullet drag and therefore accuracy. I would go with paper.

I would use the brightly colored Christmas tape. It would be like a tracer round out of a ML. Actually I think the teflon tape has possibilities. Have you tried ordering the sabots on line?

I believe if you call PR bullets in Canada they can mail HPH-12's directly to you. http://www.prbullet.com/
I know if you call Connie at MMP she can mail direct to you it just takes her some extra paper work or she might suggest PR also. www.mmpsabots.com
The other sabot that might work well for you is the Harvester red 'crush rib' - if you are interested in that call Allen at Harvester...
