Does anybody know where I can find 6.5mm sabots for reloading? I cannot find them anywhere and I am not sure they are made. I am looking to shoot a 22 caliber bullet out of my swede for coyotes

No can do!
The only ones for smokeless is in .30 caliber.
The rest is .45- .58 cal.

Done be sad, they suck in .30 anyways.
Noone can get better than 2-3" at 100yds

Sounds good, I was afraid of that.I really wanted to hunt yotes with my swede but unless I can find fmj for it I think it is out

Ok, I'll bite. Is this a California thing? Why can't you hunt coyote with the Swede an the myriad of .264 bullet choices?

I wanted a bullet that would tear up the fur.Something I could still shoot over 350 yards with

Ah-ha (lightbulb goes on). PPV do a 139 grs fmj and S&B 140 grs. Bigger than you want and slower but still loaded to CIP specs rather SAAMI rubbish. 300 yards with a bullet drop reticle should still be doable.

I have the CDS dial system on my scope. Have you found any source for 100-123 grain FMJ projectiles? The only ones I could find were lapua match bullets and they were a little spendy for what I want to do
