I took my Daughter's RemPac 45 out to the range to sight in a couple of loads. I'll try to chrono this load in the future but from the traces I looked at, it should be somewhere around 2450fps. I first shot 3 Barnes 250 grain FF bullets to see where they would print then let the barrel cool for a bit.
100yds, 61 grains Reloder 7, Harvester Light Blue sabot, Hornady 200 grain SST
After the second shot, I thought I blew a sabot, I couldn't see another hole, to my surprise, almost the same hole.
3rd shot.
I'm going to try some 195 grain Barnes Expanders tomorrow and see how they do. I'm guessing they will shoot well but probably not as tight as the SST's. I'm impressed with RL7 and sabots. Some of the pressure traces I looked at had the 195 Barnes screaming around 2900fps. With the 61 grain load, recoil was mild.
