Default RE: Am I Crazy?

My wife has accused me of being silly more than once. I do admit, I like to experiment with stuff and that is what this is all about. I already have a box or two of the 200gr SW's and a couple of bags full of other bullets and sabots, I just don't have any extra 50/40 sabots. I saw these SST's with 20 bullets for a dollar or so more than the 15 bullet box of Shockwaves you linked to and thought I would see if I could come up with a way of using them without buying anything else. As for the time it takes, well, like I said I like to experiment and so the time is more like play time to me. I tried just cutting off one of the sabots base yesterday and it only took about 45 seconds with me taking my time and being careful, the drill method would take just a bit longer once I figure out the best way of doing it so it's not a big investment of time to do a few to experiment with.

It may yet turn out to be a silly waste of time and resources but it may also turn out to be an option to consider if a situation crops up where that is my only alternative. Either way, I would have had fun playing with it. It also gives me one more reason to go to the range.
