Default RE: Crush Rib sabots




I was playing with all kinds of loads that day. I was shooting a Green Mountain Stainless Steel Barrel with a 1-28 twist with open sights. This 3" limb was out in the woods leaning on a tree at 35 yards. I decided to see how many shots it would take to cut the tree limb in half. Well it took four shots to the center of the limb. The interesting thing is with 80 grains of Swiss and these big chunks of lead, they were passing through the limb and a tree that was 10 inches approximately on the stump. Lots of thump there. The accuracy was excellent.

I was shooting off a rest, but you can see where the major hits were grouping on the limb. It was really doing a good job, and I intend to give them a better testing on paper next week...
