RE: strange sabot incodent last weekend
newman1,
The last time I talked to Del Ramsey at MMP, he indicated it was not a problem if the sabot-petals broke off the the sabot as long as occurs after separation. If it occurs during separation you groups - well, you won't have groups.
All of my .458 MMP sabots break petals - but are not effecting accuracy and often the the thicker .451 sabots will break - especially the new polymere sabots...
