I know FG. Yet, we've both seen a PB broken up like the picture of the PT that Max showed.
What conditions caused this? I think in the case of the PB it's too heavy of a load at close range. Is there a condition that makes the PT do the same thing?
I agree in your case of a loose sabot you can get it to shoot better. The CR sabot that comes with the PT fit my barrel perfect, and it's one of the best sabots. I don't think i'd have gained much by messing with sabots. I did shoot 90-100-110 gr of BH with no help.
Oh well.
