My memorysays:
6 MMP HPH-.458 Orange sabots - the machine was purchased from Knight
6 Speer 350 grain .458 JFP - jacketed flatpoints
6 Hornady 350 grain .458 RN

That group into the upper target looks really promising and the same for 2-5 in the bottom. When I shot them, I was using a hoter load (100 grains t7-2f) and getting pretty decent groups also. This is the first target I shot when I was testing the .458's

Did you notice any physical difference between the knigh .458 sabots and the MMP sabots? Did one load harder than the other? I wan on the Knight web site the other night and could not find that Knight was offering the .458 sabot any longer.

The main reason I sent the projectiles to cayugad is the he is a more rounded tester than I am. He will shoot any projectile for testing purposes, and I guess I will too, but I am really only interested in flat-quick bullets at this time, although If I were hunting hogs these loopers work get under 100 yards. And they carry a lot of energy with them.
