Well my experience so far on using BH is the sabot is still really hard to push down the barrel...I was just seeing if anyone has experimented with itI use BH209 powder and I don't have any need to clean anything between shots. If you're using T7 powder anything with a 209 primer you're going to have to learn to live with cleaning between shots. I'm not sure what issues what real black or Pyrodex will have regarding the need to clean between shots but BH209 liberates anyone using it from all the hassles other powders have between shots. The only thing I need to clean while shooting is the carbon from the flash channel of the breech plug every 15 or so shots but that will have to be done using any primer or powder.
Practical and efficient. I like it.I use tobacco spit to lube the sabots.
I used bacon grease it worked well for meI use tobacco spit to lube the sabots.

If the sabot is too hard to push then your using the wrong sized sabot. My CVA Accura uses a Harvester black crush rib. I tried the standard black and they were too tight.Well my experience so far on using BH is the sabot is still really hard to push down the barrel...I was just seeing if anyone has experimented with it
I am using a .400 155gr bullet and a mmp .400 blue sabotIf the sabot is too hard to push then your using the wrong sized sabot. My CVA Accura uses a Harvester black crush rib. I tried the standard black and they were too tight.
I've only been into sabots for a yr at most, but I've shot a bunch in this last yr. I couldn't imagine havin to lube my sabots. Size your bullet correctly with the right dia sabots to match your bore dia & there will never be a need to do that. I can shoot all afternoon long with BH 209 & sabots & not need to swab or bore brush a single time. Perhaps invest in a dial caliper, measure your bore & bullets & sabot OD with bullet or just measure the sabot wall thickness then a lil math. Maybe an adj bullet sizer would be in order.How many of you lube your sabots??
Redneck lube has been used for more than one thing I can immediately think of.Practical and efficient. I like it.
Because that is all I had to test it outWhy? Bacon grease has salt in it. The last thing I'd want to add to a barrel is salt of any kind.
Well from what I can find you get the bullet diameter you get a sabot to go from that to what caliber of gun you haveI've only been into sabots for a yr at most, but I've shot a bunch in this last yr.
