Just wondering if anyone has tried a patched round ball in their Optima pistol.
I guess I didn't realize that was a such a fast twist on the V2, thanks.No, haven't tried it. 1:28 twist not suited for round ball.
Patched Roundball can most definitely be Accurate Through a Fast 1:28 Twist, if you do some research on here you will find it, pay attention to Our Late Cayuga (Dave Anderson) He knew how to do it!

I am sitting here and recall another discussion on casting bullets with wheel weights. I would bet a couple bucks that bullets could be cast in a 45 LC mold from about any scrap lead and fired with a sabot. That adds the cost of a sabot, but; on the plus side practice ammo would or could approximate the power and hopefully near POI of the expensive hunting loads.
I still get the appeal of light loads with patched balls for both low cost, fun or small game hunting. I will watch this discussion.
Where can I find 6500 bulk Harvester sabots?
