well with all that I have happen in the last 3 days it is good to see something went right. had to put a new scope on my ML. lets put it this why I take anything that came close.

85gr of pyrodex p/240gr .430 xtp

I went on and did my second part of my conical with sabot test

the small hole where my sighting of my scope 230gr/ surefire, 85 grs of pyrodex p. the larger holes where 285gr great plans, 70 grs of pyrodex p. the first test the bullets where all over the place (80grs) . I got them to line up this time.
my next test I may drop them another 5 grs.

good news off this test. I recovered a sabot and an extra bonus, a bullet.

note: I normally can't recover bullet from the range.
