Default what sabot for .40cal bullet?

My brother has a .40cal mold that casts .400" bullets. I figured for fun i could run some pure lead 180gr .40cal bullets and stuff'em into the sabots just for fun plinking and maybe long range coyote fun.

What sabot would i need for these?

Depends on whether you want to shoot them out of a .45 or a .50. Both sizes of sabots (50/40 & 45/40) are available.

ok perfect. Be interesting to see how coreys 260's shoot and how our 180s do.
