Default RE: Range Experiment - Same Load / Six Different Sabots

ORIGINAL: Semisane

This is a follow-up to myfour load comparison covered in an earlier post usingHarvester Crush Rib sabots, 300grain Speer Gold Dots, and four different powder charges. http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2337091

Thanks to sabotloader, I had a sample pack of a number of different sabots. I decided to stick with the same bullets and the best shooting powder charge from that experiment, and try all of the different sabots with thatcombination. The results were interesting. Groups ranges from 5 & 3/4" to 1 & 7/8" at 100 yards. Velocities varied, but not as much as I expected.Targets are posted below (from largest group to smallest)for your viewing pleasure.
Check out the experiment this fellow did with Primers:

Great info, expecially for smokeless powder, which is harder to ignite that BP or subs.
