Let me know if you want to try some of my bullet and sabot combos or 285gr conicals.
The weather caused the range to close AGAIN and its getting annoying. It would be great if sending you some would help get more data available for the forum's 45cal owners.
I would love to see how well and how fast you can get the Hornady 9mm Hornady XTP 147gr BTHP to shoot. I have a fair amount of these for my 9mm reloading. Del said he had good luck with these in his Blue 357/45 sabots.
Other bullets/components I have available that might be interesting.
.357 158gr Berry's copper plated HPs...best ive tried sofar for cheap 357s.
.357 125gr copper plated FP...i havent tried these..I think they are Berry's
.357 Barnes 140gr XPB...these look really good but expensive
.400 180gr Frontier copper plated RNFP and HP.
.401 220gr Redline Ballistics hardcast...of course
...if these work in yours they should work in mine. If you want to try these i will include the Harvester
smooth sabots and remove the lube in the groove.
PR QT 40/45 250gr BT Poly tip...i got another dozen.
Most of the rest i have are commonly available through Cabelas. The 200gr 40/45 SSTs have been the best by far in mine.
I also have some .31 cal dry lube felt wads i wanted to try IN some sabots between the sabot and bullet to adjust OAL for experimenting with shorter bullets. They really appear to help with the fit in PR 357/45 sabots. I have some Blue ones from Del on the way also.
.060 dry fiber wads...possibly might help protect the sabot base if you have blow outs...thats a BIG maybe.
50cal MMP sub bases and sabots if you want to try the 220s in a 40/50 loaded hot.
Helping you "experiment" helps all of us experiment so just let me know. Some bullets i have in bulk and could easily give you 1-2 dozen of each of the less expensive bullets. Im really wondering about the 220s in 50s too so if you want more of the Redlines.
Have a good one and thank you very much for the PM.
