Anyone remember those puppies? Factory loaded ammunition for: .308, .30-30, .30-06 which were a .223 cal/55 gr. slug with a sabot.
In my .30-06, this round was a 4080 fps load with nearly 2100 lb/ft of energy at the muzzle.
The Feds made Remington drop this loading for the .308 and .30-06... for fear of it being used as a sniper load by civilians. As far as I know, it's still being offered for .30-30.
Guess what I stumbled onto about a year ago when I got to missing this bullet !! (I found one or two SINGLE loads on various auction places... going for $20 per bullet) I've still got at least one whole box of these stashed.
Anyhow... here's what I found, and got myself stocked up with.
