The black polymer base is MMP 50 cal. Sub-Base or Sub-Bridge available from MMP Sabots.
They are not in any way attached to the bullet - the bullet just sits on top of the base. All the base does is act as a 'Wad'. You could use a shot card or even a regular wool wad to accomplish almost the same thing. I believe the sub-base provides the best gas seal.
They just one piece - You just push the base into the bore and place the bullet on top of it...
After you shoot them and if you can find them on the ground they really do not change much - you could almost re-shoot them.
