30 cal sabots

[Rocky Raab]

I had horrible results with some - just like your friend.

You have two choices:

You can toss the sabots in the trash and keep your blood pressure down, or

You can burn up a lot of powder and primers and launch lots of .22-cal bullets into neverland. You'll never know where some of them hit, no matter how large a target you use, or how close.

When I experimented with them, I managed to completely miss a 2x4 FOOT target at 50 yards with some shots.

I'd toss them. But knowing the curiosity factor of most reloaders, you'll probably try a few of them anyway. Use data for 100 or 100-grain bullets, even though the sabot combo is only half that. I'd use 4198 or a similar stick powder and not ball type. Good luck - and keep the blood pressure meds handy.
