    I've got some loaded for my 308 but am yet to give them a go. i've got some 50 grain nosler shots and some 75 grain A-Max's loaded up. Not sure if the A-Max ones will stabilise in a 1-10 twist 308 barrel though.

    it's a nice day here today and i need something to do, so might head out this afternoon and give them a try.

    Weight both the Sabot and the projectile, then add the two weights together for a total.
    Using the total weight consult your reloading book, you would use a slightly faster burn powder than normally used for that weight id say, at a guess as there is next to no friction (compared to a copper jacketed projectile) from that delrin Sabot slipping down the bore.

    Accuracy could be a bit hit or miss
