Raptor 240's and duplex sabot

[LHR]

I tried the Raptors again with 35gr N120 and my home made sub base under these prototype white sabots.



Unfortunately my chrono either err'd out on the sabot setup or the whole thing went wonky? Extreme spread was around 180 fps, and groups were about 3" at 100 yards for 5 shots. But at least they didnt key hole this time.

Not great but at least they flew straight. Prob better with a scope. Where are the “prototype” sabots from?

Cutting Edge gave me 30 to try since the blues were shredding

35grs, that's N110 territory, right there.

I've been on the lookout for some but none locally to be found

I try to buy 2lb every couple of weeks or so at my LGS. I got a case in the back of the store, he's holding for me. I'm trying to buy every bottle he's got on the shelf, first.

I never had any Luck with the 240 Gr CEB Version 1 in a .45 Cal with Sabot without them being Annealed & Knurled. No Experience with the Newer Versions.
Also, shot lots of them Annealed & Knurled in my .400"/.408" Cal & Full Form Sized in the .392"/.400" Barrels. Like LBAhunter stated that is a pretty Light Load of N120 for good Obturation?
