[QUOTE="hubel585, post: 1773977"] Some info we have found out about the operation of discarding sabots. In first picture you see thin white line between the strong powder and the sabot. It is the white fiber cushion wad pressed flat. It is shown on the left in second picture. In the picture of it compressed you see it is pushing squarely on the sabot. This is most important wheh the sabot and slug exit barrel to get the slug started as straight as possible for accuracy. Other types of plastic cushions aid in sealing and help get best velocities but the rolls and legs in them can allow them to side shift which can affect how straight the sabot is on exit, thus causing the slug to deviate. The gray sabots we tried had cushion on the bottom of them and inspecting them after firing you could see they were pushed sideway some of the time. That is why we are trying to get tight fitting simple sabots built and recommend using heavy plastic seals with fiber wads to have least deviation and best accuracy.

[IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.gunownerstv.com_2gno3.jpg[/IMG] Fourth picture is an old time Kynoch rounds called the "Lethal" and the "destructor". [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.gunownerstv.com_destructor.jpg[/IMG] 5th picture is a H&H underlever double 8bore.I think it is rifled barrels.....Nice beautiful old gun.Ed [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.gunownerstv.com_hh8bore.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
