.45 cal SST Hornady sabots

[GunisLoaded]

Wasn't sure where to post this. I'm fairly new here so maybe the mods can move IDk...

I bought some of these Hornady sabots years back.
Thinking I could use them with these
They're to much of a fight to choke down the barrel. Nothing like the red sabots like I thought when purchased.

I shoot a accura v2 would like to know what options in sabots there are. I'm not familiar with much. Only ever shot the sst ml with the red sabots
Hoping maybe some other members could recommend a sabot they use out of the accura.
Thanks

I took some measurements earlier today on the SST’s with the red sabot and the ones I have averaged at .451. I guess the ones they sell prepackaged are different.

The prepacked ones are all I've been chootin.

I came across some info searching around and that's most guys like the crush ribbed sabots. They offer a few different ones just not sure which ones are the better.

That’s all I’ve shot also. I think the Harvester is what my reloading store carries, I plan on stopping tomorrow on the way home to see what they have. I have a lot of 44 cal bullets that I reload with.

I would just go with the Harvester Black Crush Rib Sabot in 50 cal for a 45cal bullet. Use them with the SST in a couple of my Optimas with no problems. The red 50cal is made for Smokeless MZ shooting but folks have tried them in regular MZs with success.

There has lots of discussion on which sabots for a particular diameter bullet. I suggest you do a search within this site to find the post that good members had charts posted which showed details of bullets and sabots which match up.

I picked up some of the Harvester green crush rib tonight on the way home and they are just a touch bigger than the Hornady SST sabots. Now I just need my Optima to show up.

MMP sabots (mmpsabots.com) are always highly recommended (I use them myself)-their webpage goes into great detail in regard to how to pick the sabot and bullet that is appropriate for your needs. And they are inexpensive enough to try a few varieties and test them.
