Got my sabots

[cecil30-30]

I ordered some harvester sabots for my savage 10ml after doing some research on dugsmessage boards.I ordered the smooth black sabot and the red crush rib sabot the one designed for smokeless powder.I immediatly opened both packs up,and put a 250gr xtp in it and pushed each one down the barrel.The smooth black sabot went down way to easy.But the red crush rib sabot was very hard going down,which indicates a tight fit..Which should be good.The red crush rib was alot tighter going down than the short black MMP sabot that savage reccomends and the one I've been useing.Can't wait till saturday to try these out.I sure hope I get some better results since i'll be switching sabots. I also got osme 300gr xtp's to try.

Not going too good.Best I can get is a 2 inch group.I have some .458 diamiter bullets on the way and ordered some more sabots..Also got some new powder to try. Its a work in progress.

 

[dh1984]

oh i c do you still have them old bullets? i would like to see a picture of them. because i can't read to good when looking for bullets.

 

[cecil30-30]

Which bullets you talking about? The xtp's or the .458 dia bullets?

 

[dh1984]

the XTP's i would like to see what they look like so i can stay away from them in the stores LOL.

 

[cecil30-30]

I wouldn't count them out until you try them.Alot of savage 10ML's shoot them really good.I just can't get them to shoot good out of my rifle.I've tried them with,3 different sabots,both 250gr and 300gr,and they just don't do very well. But your rifle might be different. Do you have a Savage 10ML?

 

[dh1984]

my buddy does but i don't know what he's shooting out of his though. but i'll find out for you send me a pm when you get a cahnce

 

[dh1984]

Hey Cecil have you tried the Thor bullets yet? they are a full bore bullet with little to no blow by and good accuracy. well that's what i was told by a friend of mine.

Try some of the MMP Orange sabots with your .458 bullets and see if they might not be the answer.
