They’re fun, but I start flinching after a while and have to retrain myself. RE: Plastic sabot solvent Hey edggy don't be so quick to discount homemade formulas. I don’t think I’d take the Redhawk option. It’s still the best all round rifle in my cabinet. That thing would lift a deer off its feet at 50 yards, but made a mess. My only experience with sabots was with a rifled Black Shadow 12ga shotgun that shot 50cal slugs.

The sabot serves a number of roles: It blocks the gas in the barrel, which raises the muzzle velocity. The sabot, usually made of plastic encases a sabot slug, usually made of lead and/or copper. This could be as minor as leaving little tiny plastic shavings that have to be removed periodically all the way to impeding the flight of the projectile to preventing the projectile from leaving the muzzle. Any device attached to that muzzle runs a high risk of interfering with the projectile. A few months later I traded it for an old Winchester 94 30/30 saddle gun… a trade I’ve often regretted. A sabot is designed to only be used in a rifled shotgun barrel. Sabots, by design and definition, peel apart immediately upon leaving the muzzle. I showed up with it one morning (predawn) to do a woods drive with a bunch of coworkers, but they didn’t want me to use it because I only had one shot and might miss a flushed and running deer. I used to hunt chucks with a home-finished CVS 45cal cap & ball… lots of fun until it came time to cleaning it. The function of a sabot is to provide a larger bulkhead structure that fills the entire bore area between an intentionally designed sub-caliber flight projectile and the barrel, giving a larger surface area for propellant gasses to act upon than just the base of the smaller flight projectile.

45 Caliber sabots incorporating Harvester High Pressure Crush Rib sabots (light blue) and our newest solid lead. OK, so it sounds like the sabots facilitate loading, can improve accuracy/range and allow you to utilize a variety of slugs (provided you have the proper sabots) and generally tweak in your rifle… sort of like building up a sweet load for your favorite sport’n rifle.
