Anything 30cal! Want to shoot a 30-30 at almost 4000fps or a 300wm over 5000fps, load some. I use them for my tokerav pistols yo make 223 timbs rounds.

 

Any spec on 223 timbs reload

 

I love it! Dang @Gulfport Joe you're not a speed freak are you? HaHaHa! I am too! I want my bullets to travel faster than my chrono can register. That way I can get a better one.

I've only got a 30-06 at the moment, thanks to my recent revolver spree, for which I have no regrets. Where's some load data for this in a 30-06?

 

@Rommerdale I will send you some load data after I find my books. Unfortunately I did not put a picture of 30.06 loaded with the others but I have used the sabots in every 30cal I have. If you need more sabots I have THOUSANDS of them. I have sent them to others on the forum as well because no one should be deprived of those crazy velocities.
I forgot to add that even though you are producing crazy velocities you are putting virtually no wear on your barrel as the sabot is engaging the rifling, Not the metal bullet. My sabots are made of a Teflon blend polymer that withstands high heat and reduces friction.

 

@Gulfport Joe

How are the Teflon sabots compared to to the traditional plastic ones? I got some white plastic ones from the Auther Brown company that I was planning to use in my 30-06 and Tokerev.
What kind of load is best to minimize tumbling for the tok?

 

 

I have to add that you could also use these in a C96 7.63x25 Mauser. I never have though so I have no data for such. Get creative and experimen. 30-40 Krag, 30 carbine, 300BO (which seems silly to me, but hey what ever ) basically any 30 caliber rifle or pistol round.
Same goes for 303 British although I suspect even though the bullet diameter required is .312 vs a .308 I would speculate the polymer sabot might would do one of two things. Either expand enough to catch the rifling or if gas cutting does occur, could possibly cause squibs or catastrophic failure.

 

Sobe load data at this site. Looks interesting.

Thanks @kelhow I'm going to load a few and try them out this weekend.

 

Wonder if one can shoot them thru a suppressor ?

 

No not at all. Same with muzzle breaks and flash hiders. The sabot flowers out as it exits the barrel so anything at the end of the barrel will cause damage and possibly send the bullet sideways

 

The second one I shot this weekend did that. It managed to jump about 12" off POA. I stopped shooting them after that. I'm going to pull the rest and try a different powder and load.

 

Just guessing here, but depending on the diameter of the sabots and how much they would expand upon firing they might be useful in British or Russian .311 to .312 bores. Also remember that bore diameters, especially in wartime production rifles, might be a scootch larger or smaller than their nominal diameter. Slug your bores to test.

Personally, when I get weird projectiles in the reloading room I'm always interested in experimenting.

I will pull data and send it to you tonight. I been sick with the covid so I am not moving real fast

 

If you can get them to shoot accurately it would make a good coyote round. Should be a flat shooting round for quite a ways out.🦊
