Hubel,

Ever try working with the Barnes 500gr SGS bullets? (Just interested)

hubel458

No I haven't. Figured out the sabot for the 3/4 oz Barnes
that Federal loads will also hold the 500 S&W bullets
out there and the lightest 505 bullets.The 3/4 oz Barnes
is .500 diameter. 505 fits pretty good also.Amazing all the stuff you can put together for our cartridge.Ed.

Where do you get those sabots...?

hubel458

I got a few with the Federal loads. Of course to expensive.
I am trying to find the company who makes them. Ed.

jcchartboy

That is what I figured...let me know if you find the supplier...

I found that the front section of a 50cal bore rider bullet
fits sabot, It is 470 gr, and streamlined.Those bullet you
cam get by the thousands and cut off the .510 diameter
back section , leaving front 1.5 inch long and .500
diameter, perfect for that sabot.
It is 2nd in pic.Ed

Shot a 610 grain hollowpoint Dixie hard
slug into 6 gallon sealed pail of water.
Going 2800 fps, and real big hollowpoint.
First pic is pail with crimped on top.
Pail full and has filler spout capped.
Second pic,impact with water atomising,
and pail blowing apart.In the next small
fraction of a second is third after impact
with shelf cleared, the hyrostatic pressure
down, has bent top of steel frame shelf.
Same blast put jug pieces all over.
Got to get a 15 gallon one. Behind
you see my wood bundle backstop...Ed
