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.
I like sabotloader could not get the 180gs to shoot. But the 200g XTP is a great little bullet. It holds up very well even with high charges. I could shoot 110g 777 w/my Genesis and it still shot well. Good luck and have fun. Hopefully that 50/40 sabot loads well in your Omega. They are VERY tight in my Rem and VERY-VERY tight in my friends Omega. But all MLs are different.
