    Anyone shoot .50 BMG sabots with .308 lead boolets?

    How accurate is it? The military has some .50 sabots. Could shoot a cheap cast boolet, cheaper than the primer. Ace

    Got a link to those sabots? Depending upon the dimensions of the sabot, they might be a real hoot in something like the 50-110...

    If you want to go cheaper, I believe that Red River Rick lists some adjustable molds for paper-patching in a .50 cal. You might want to check if the diameters are compatable. The paper-patch junkies claim you can get near factory jacketed velocities in many calibers, even with fairly soft alloys...My shoulder hurts already.......
