SML Bullet Captures

[Decay]

As far as I can tell the .400 cal Barnes bullet in the 45 cal sabot is not available anywhere!!!

So I’m lookin at Parker’s Match Hunter and no Excuses and Knights Red Hots in 175 gr.

What else is there?

Pittman says his are not recommended for use with sabots.

Cutting Edge and Lehigh have got some .40 monos that I believe are sabot compatible.

Thanks. I just spoke with Bob Parker and it sounds like the 402 Match Hunter will work with the harvester blue crush rib sabot. I ordered 250 gr Fury’s and they arrive tomorrow and maybe get shot tomorrow. I’m also lookin at No Excuses, .400 pure lead in a 45 sabot
No Hornady SST’s available anywhere either.

Wonder what the jacket thickness was on the Furys?

.021” I believe.

At close range, at those speeds the Fury, devastation, at longer range, just right!!!!

Can you please school me a bit about the process of taking a torch to Barnes to get them to size? We've tried to size Barnes TEZ in the past and it's proved unsuccessful, however, we weren't heating them up. I wouldn't mind trying the process again. We have quite a few 290 grain TEZ. I did speak to the engineer at Barnes and he did tell me at 2900ish FPS in whitetail he'd expect the petals to come off, just FYI.

I sized some a few weeks back without annealing them and didn’t have an issue, they grouped pretty good. I’ll be shooting some more of the 250s later this week.

The person that you replied to is no longer in the forum.
