I've shot some from my 45cal Disc Elite. You need the PRBullet 45/357 orange sabots. They are the ONLY ones tuff enough to be pushed hard and not fail. MMP makes the sabot for PRbullet, but we can not purchase them direct from MMP, cause of the agreement for the PRbullet rights to the name/style.

For .45 caliber guns: .357/.45 Orange, -- http://prbullet.com/price08.htm

You are correct, in that the shorter the 358 bullet the better it stabalizes. The 180-200 grainers work the best. you still need to know what the operational velocity range is--what speed will they expand and perform best. These are my favorites so far:

I do have some more testing to do.I have a Lee bullet sizer, with dies .354, .355, .356, and .357. So far I have only pushed all lead bullets thru them. And have custimized many cast bullets to fit perfectly in sabot to barrel My barrel likes the bullet sized to .355-356 with PRbullet sabotthe Best!

Wondering if I can push the jacketed bullets thru them with out damaging my sizer/dies??Cause the 358 load very hard[&:],but perform well.


Saying all that, I still prefer the 45/40cal 200grain Shockwave/SST Loads WAY easier and shoots like a Laser Beam


I will get some more of the Hornady 180g 358's and run some thru the sizer(Well Lubed) and see If I can get them to load/shoot better.

Oh..., so many projects,...so little time
