I want to try some .224 rifle bullets from a .45 ACP barrel, any suggestions on where to get sabots?
Chamber pressure is standard 10MM. If you have a 10/40 about all you need is a barrel swap. I will drag up the info. I saved every article and writeup about over the years. Basically it's a 10mm case necked down to 224. Like the 5.7 it is more of a blow back type of round. It hits max pressure and then drops off so fast that it peens the breach face but does not have enough residual energy to cycle the slide. Most 1911's that were converted had their slide cut and lighted to the point that the 1911 style slide look like 92/96 slides
Think of it like a FN 5.7x28 round only it uses the heaver 224 bullets and drive them about 30% faster then the 5.7x28mm.
We would also be offering barrels and lightened slides. All you would have to do is remove your Delta top end and put ours on.
