I learned to pick up patches when shooting round ball to read what was happening. So it was only natural to continue to pick up and look at sabots when shooting pistol bullets to see what was happening.
Here are 3 sabots. Two have been shot, one hasn't. The shot ones were from my T/C plains rifle. One was shot with a temp above 50F. One was shot with a temp of 16F and wind chill of -2F. Can you tell which one was not shot.
I put the different bullets in them so I would remember the unused one, old short term memory ya know.







This question was prompted by some asking if sabots could be reused else where.
