Thank you. A few more questions though. What happens if wads are put in the sabot to raise the Lee so the tits go in the crimp groove?
Is the gas check needed to enlarge the base? Would it be a good idea to open the gas check portion of the mold for a larger base?
How about making a mold with GG's like a tumble lube Lee for more bite but with sharp edges instead of rounded ones.
There are other options too like the Lee .50 caliber Minie' balls, number .500-354M and .500-360M. Change the hollow base plug for a flat base.
Lots of things to look at but to save money we need the guys with these molds to send a few boolits to see what they look like in the sabot.
James, I agree that we don't need the super velocities. Accuracy is more important then anything. That has been my criteria for revolvers but this sabot thing is new to me. I only shoot round balls in my muzzle loaders. I shoot one ragged hole at 50 yd's and can hit tiny targets at 200 meters off hand with a round ball, NO WAY I will buy a modern pistol bullet shooting abortion called a muzzle loader! I can shoot over 200 rounds a day without EVER wiping the bore using the right lube, patch and ball fit. Try THAT with a sabot!
