I'm looking into the Powerstar bullets and sabots by White. I did a search, and found that only underclocked has mentioned them, and that was back in 2003.
They areahollow point lead bullet in what they say is a "slip-fit" sabot which is easier to load (though underclocked's results don't seem to indicate that).
They have also come out with a "SCS" (self-cleaning sabot), that has a copper base which is supposed to expand to clean the powder residue as it travels down the bore. Does anyone know anout these?
They are also coming out with "SCB",s (self-cleaning bullets), that are pure lead bullets with the copper base.
I have a friend who bought some (Powerstar bullets/sabots) for his .45 cal, but I can't try them, since I have a .50.
If anyone has any, I'd be interested in knowing what the outside diameter of the .50 caliber Powerstar sabots are.

Handloaders have been using that technology for years its known as a gas check, its used to minimize barrel fouling with lead bullets.

Edit: had to fix some bad grammer lol
