Roskoe - Before I spend 7.25 plus shipping for only 50 MMP sub-bases, I gotta try the 28 gauge pink wad thing. I can buy 250 AA wads for roughly the same price!! Will maybe try a piece of cotton between the AA home-made base and the sabot / conical in filling the "dead space." Just a thought...
Boy, as soon as one strays for shooting PRBs, things sure do become expensive, don't they? That's probably just as the ML manufacturers want it..eh? Amazes me how most of the stuff on the market today revolves around fast-twist (and super fast twist) rifles. With all the combinations of this and that, a guy could spend half his summer on the range trying to figure out what his ML likes to eat. Again, probably just the way the ML manufacturers want it!! Gosh, I remember when the fastest twist that TC offer in an ML was 1:38. I think that was about 10 or 12 years ago.
Yeah know, the more I think about it, the more inclined I am to purchase a .54 cal in either 1:48 or 1:66 and use strictly PRBs. Sometimes simple is best.
