The bullets have always been there. Today Nosler has dropped out of the .458 Partition market (still has a 500 grain partition) but in away Lehigh has filled that niche somewhat - granted from Knight only.
In the old days and currently Knight is the only outlet for sabots and I believe you are right back in history you culd not just buy the sabots from them. Today you can and I do not see that changing anytime soon.
Same would be the case now, if they bring the. 45 with a 1:20 twist very few choices in buying bullets.
I think I disagree with that also, Barnes and other companies offer 40 cal bullets, premium and other quality.
My next shooting session will be with a variety non-premium bullets like the XTP-Gold Dot-Seirra regular run of the mill bullets to see how they shoot. I think that is importantant information. Tom has shot Barnes 175 grain bullets but those are still longer the the run of the mill XTP or Speer. Also Sqezer has shot 40-200 Shockwaves with great success from the 1-20.
I was told these were coming out in May, kinda need to be deciding what twist they are going to, shouldn't they. Or is it going to be like last year, come out in the spring but none are shipping till August?
I think may be a the target date for introduction of a 45 cal - I am not sure and I also am not sure how they will handle the purchasing or shipping.
