Quote HistoryQuoted: I have a SW 642 in 38 spl. Apparently it has a twist of 18.5:1. So I wonder if a sabot could be 3D printed to hold a super light .223 bullet like a 40-45 grain and what sort of velocity it would push. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I haven't bothered with nickel in JHP but I've had a great time with sabots. I made a poor 1895 Nagant revolver holepunch a IIIa vest.  It's the main reason I'm so interested in .30SC as well. Semi auto legal AP carry gun? Yes please. https://i.imgur.com/gWu9Pkj.jpg?1 I have a SW 642 in 38 spl. Apparently it has a twist of 18.5:1.

I expect that it's absolutely doable and - depending on the exact weight of the sabot and projectile - 1500+ FPS. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'd be surprised if that didn't affect the accuracy. But I want to stick zippo flints in 22 LR hollow points... They don't fit. I think I've read the same book that you did that suggests otherwise. Zippo flints will fit in 9mm hollow points, though. |
