Will someone give me the lowdown on sabot classification? I shoot the short m&p as that is what savage tells you. Would like to understand this so I could make better choices..thx
Thanks for all the help Gm54. I called mmp today, talked to Connie. She knows their products very well. My barrel mics out at .501-.502, she is sending me appropriate sabots to try. But I do not understand why u would want to remove breech plug. Seems like you would not get your 40 lbs. Of loading pressure?My old MLII liked the MMP orange 50x458 with a 325gr FTX and 63gr or Reloder7. HPH-12 and a 300gr 452 bullet is very close in loaded OD to that. Its no screamer but its easy on sabots and Re7 is very dependable as long as you got a 300-325gr bullet.
Just try to get around 40lbs of loading pressure. Put the MLII on a bathroom scale butt down. Push the bullet through the bore with the breech plug removed. Around 30-40lbs of force will get you in the zone. Powders like 5744 ignite a bit easier and you might be able to get away with a little less force but accuracy will be anyones guess.
Unscrew the breech plug?How you gunna get the sabot out without any powder in barrel? I normally dont bring a scale with me to the range.
