CVA Kodiak 45 cal
scope Bushnell DOA
Bullets and powder
Hornady 452/250 gr Monoflex saboless, 105 gr of BH209.
Lehigh 451/250 gr XP'S sabotless, 110gr of BH 209.
Primers winchester 209W
Made it to the range to try out the sabot bases again, but added the MMP tan base to the plan.
1st up was the monoflex with the felt wad 105 gr of BH 209, 1st shot was out of a cold clean barrel, high and right, then 2,3,4,
2nd group was the Sabot bases with the Monoflex ,1st and 2nd shots were with the blue sabots, Now with the tan sabots, Aimed right of center and same out come. touching. Seems like when shooting the sabot bases, they are pushed upward with more velocity from the sabot bases sealing the gases and catching the rifling from the barrel, Adjusted the scope down (yes I did adjust it this time) shot <a href='/tags/3' rel='nofollow' title='See all tagged subjects with: #3'>#3</a> tan sabot base,and <a href='/tags/4' rel='nofollow' title='See all tagged subjects with: #4'>#4</a> was with a blue base.
Now was the XP'S, 110 gr of powder tan sabot, wanted to try shooting the same target that I had shot with the Monoflex bullets and see if my adjustments made a difference on them as it did with the monoflex. Aimed at the 2nd square, and was left of center (Above picture), just above 1 & 2 with the blue sabots from the monoflex.. So far I was very happy with the way things were going. So I decided to go out to the 200 yard set up. Shot <a href='/tags/1' rel='nofollow' title='See all tagged subjects with: #1'>#1</a> was real easy going down the barrel, the knurl was not as tight as what I had been feeling on the other bullets, it showed on the target.
Shots 1,2, & 5 were with the blue sabots, 3 & 4 were with the tan sabot bases.On the XP'S I did not use the felt wad with them,
I was able to find a couple each of the sabot bases, you can see how they flared out to the rifling.
