Remington Accutip Sabots

[Matt304]

I just saw these new 12 gauge Accutip sabots for the first time today. They look interesting enough I may try a few boxes.

After seeing smaller diameter sabot projectiles pass right on through bucks, I like the idea of using a larger .58 cal projectile.

Has anyone tried these yet for accuracy, or taken anything with them? I wonder how they really perform as far as wounding and expansion. The high-speed gelatin video on Remington's site is neat to watch if you haven't seen it. It shows the impact of one. http://www.remington.com/products/ammunition/shotshell/slugs/accuTip_bonded_sabot_slug.asp

They have been more accurate that others i have shot... I havent been able to use 1 (hunting dont start til Nov for me)... But the ballistic gel in the vid looks like it will be a nasty round... Bad thing is it will probably destroy more meat

I wish that Remington would offer the projectile and sabot to reloaders. The 5 round boxes are expensive as heck.
