My blue sabots for .40 cal bullets came today. Went to Gander mtn picked up some 180 grn .40 cal Gold Dots. Got me a lb of 777. Gunna be shooting them out of my 24 inch barrel T/C omega X7. Im thinking 80 to 90 grain 777. What kinda velocity should I be getting. I dont have a chrono yet.
Also I took one of my 200 grain .358 rem corlocts & put it in the sabot. It wasnt very loose. I was thinking about wrapping a thin peice of plastic around the bullet & sliding into the sabot then load. What do ya think.
Im working alot of overtime right now so I cant make it to the range. So I have all these Ideas floating around my head. What do ya think.
Lotta folks shoot SST or 45cal Barnes MZ, you should try both:
