I really like my 45s but with the lack of interest in the 10mm and 40cal wildcats has made the bullet selection a bit stagnant or way over priced for ML specific versions.
I would love to see a 40-220gr to 230gr SST or Barnes.
A 45x.410 sabot might also be interesting even though bullet weight is limited.
50x40 sabots are limited to two choices and IMO both could use some improvement. A powder cup design similar to a Knight 52cal sabot "might" just do the trick. I have already mentioned this to Del at MMP. Hornady offers a 300gr made for the old 405 Winchester which would be an awesome bullet in the correct sabot and twist.
I would love to see a 50x40 sabot that works better with both traditional subs and....well you know...faster speeds too.
40cal PRB barrels are not too uncommon but what IF.....someone made a 40cal for use with sabots. 40X3xx sabots could have a huge range of bullets from plinkers to big game rifle application bullets. Im betting they would sell better than the MMP 36cal sabots.
I would love to see a 40cal made to shoot 180-200gr .357 and .358 bullets at least in the 2200fps+ range.
A few misc. wants.
Speer ML specific GD/DCs with a tip for a bit more BC. A .452 275gr GD would be nice too.
Affordable hardcast versions of popular pointy ML bullets for practice or even dedicated hardcast pointy long range bullets made for sabot use. I love target shooting but the cost of the bullets could easily be lowered this way.
A nice 45cal carbine with a 1-24 to a 1-26 twist. Preferably based on a DISC type action or a steel frame break action.
A Knight based 54cal with a 1-24 twist too. According to "someone" Knight did make a prototype and he has one of them.
Im sure i can think of a few more but thats a start.
