Default RE: Plastic Sabots in Bulk

UC,

Thanks for the tips. Maybe I misspoke, but what I meant by oversizing was to size bullets down too far.....kind of a mis-nomer in the cast bullet world.......similar to "Jumbo-Shrimp".
Probably a better way to discribe it would be sizing "to" bore diameter including the sabot.
I have the ability to size bullets in increments of .001, from .428 to .431,
so I should be able to cover sizing depending on the size of the sabots.

I know the pellets are preferred by most for their ease of use, but I handle and weigh powder alot. 50 pellets at 50grs = 2500grs at (if I remember) was around $18.
1 pound of canned powder is 7000grs for about $13-15 per lb. Packing charges into "quick loaders" or even old small pill bottles works well.

I used to pre-measure on my digital scales and take the loads afield with me that way.

Thanks for the links & info.......I use Midsouth and Natchez often and I'm no stranger to them $$$$$$$

I have a range on my property, and as soon as I can get everything here, I'll shoot and post any results or findings.

Take care & thanks again,
Bob
