Saboted 00 buck traveling 1400-1500 fps. Sabot is non-discarding.

They are stable to at least 100 feet at this velocity, I will test at farther ranges next time I go out to the farm. I hit a 4" group at about 90 feet with iron sights (I'm not very good), but I'm sure that I can do much better. These will have a wack BC, so I'm not too sure their effective range.

These are a new 43R (printed caliber) load meant for accuracy. Not too bad for home made cartridges fired out of an unchambered piece of pipe.

I have a new set of 43R loads that i've been working on. I will release these "bonus rounds" when I see more 43R builds come to life.

Ive been working on a remix for the 43R, thought of some ideas that might make it more viable to increase powder capacity safely, been trying to test it, but when just test firing primers, the rim loves to sheer off when the primer is struck. Kinda sucks trying to figure out how to prevent it.

You need to print the ammo better if you are shearing the rims.

Make sure that you are using a quality pla+, that has been dried. Print hot and very slow. I recommend the bed being at 70C.

You will never shear a rim with the firing pin strike if you print the ammo well with quality material.
