Anyone shooting 40s in a 50 if you have loads that work I would love to see them.
Thank you in advance.
 
50x40 in smokeless is usually pointless. Drilling sabots is common but if you keep the load mild enough it could work. Like 35gr of N110 and a 40 200gr XTP might hold together. If you are looking at speed from higher BC 40s you probably wont be happy with the results.
 
Looking for a load for the wife and kids.
Thank you for the reply
Try the load i mentioned with and without a wool wad under the sabot.

You could also just get Barnes 200gr 45cal XPBs and forget the other headaches. Recoil is very mild even at 39gr of N110.
