With a current federal government that is going rogue against the United States Constitution and The Second 2nd Amendment, House Bill 258 must become law or all levels of Montana law enforcement will soon be pitted against 70% of the population of Montana who are gun owners.

The first issue is that the ballistics are very different between the two rounds, and the second is the sabot itself. When you get a clean separation, the bullet flies true and hits where you were aiming. But about half the time the sabot doesn't separate cleanly. This kicks the back of bullet, causing a wobble that gives you a wicked flyer. Yes, I tested this with the rifle clamped in a rest with a remote trigger to eliminate the variables of my humanity.
I did end up finding a use for them as practice rounds for kids to let them step up to a larger rifle and caliber than they had been using because the recoil is much lower than a normal round. That was about the only good use for them I ever found. Maybe once I have time I'll try making some with a 3D printer to get a better design with more consistent separation.
