Today I got some range time with my T/C scout pistol .50 cal..I figured I would try some 225 grain Barnes xpb bullets paired with harvesters smooth green sabots. Groups were ok. I was at 25 yards and could keep them within 2” and that for me would work for whitetails out of a tree stand here where I hunt. But what got me was the recovered sabots. First 2 were with 55 grains of Swiss ffg…the other 3 are 80 grains of Swiss ffg. It’s almost like the short barrel causes a ton if pressure to be expelled onto the base of the sabot, anybody ever seen this?
