Barnes TMZ paired with a regular sabot...anyone tried it?
I was just wondering if anyone has tried the boattail TMZ's with a regular sabot. I just got a pack of the short black sabots (Harvester for SW testing) and was wondering what would happen if I shot the TMZ's out of them. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, it tried them with crush ribs, regular Harvesters, and MMP HPH-24s. Didn't work worth a hoot - 8" groups.

Hammer I read on a forum somewhere about putting a small flat washer under the bullet. Don't remember how it worked. Seems wierd to me.

Yeah, I read that too. The Savage shooters were (are?) putting a #10 washer under the bullet to keep the sabot flat against the boattail. They claim it works.

Would you use a metal or plastic washer? Do you think it matters either way? I'll give it a try...thanks!!!!
