Sabot plastic residue

[Bushersam]

Do the sabots we're using now actually leaving that much plastic residue in the rifling? If so I'm not seeing it.

If so I'm not seeing it.

Been shooting sabots since 2000. i've never seen any residue.

What Okie said. I think your barrel would have to be very very hot to collect any residue from modern day sabots.

The new polymer formulation being used by both Harvester and MMP, although the two formulations do vary slightly. leave very little to no plastic fouling in the bore.

Agree. I’ve never seen any fouling that I could attribute to plastic. And I’ve seen enough fired sabots to believe that is very unlikely.

You could clean the bore with acetone and see if there was any fouling. Be careful with acetone around the wooden or plastic stocks.
