The sabots looked good, not burnt thru or fingers missing.   These loads are accuracy loads for one shooter's gun-1.5" at 100 yards for him. Groups were shot at temperatures from mid 5O-degrees to the 20 degree range. Average velocities during warmer weather were 30 to 50 fps slower than velocities recorded during the cooler temperatures. When outside temperatures top 80-degrees F, it may be necessary to reduce hotter loads by 5% to 10% to maintain accuracy.
