RE: Bullet to loose
The results
Set-up: Knight DISC MH, BH209, Win209 at 110yards (100 meters), 3 shots groupe
SST 250gr and 110grs
HPH-12: 1''3/8 and 1''
HPH-24: 4''
HPH-24 + Scotch T: 1''1/2
SST 300 and 100grs
HPH-12: 2'' and 2''
HPH-24: 6''
HPH-24 + Scotch T: 1''3/4
Barnes 300 Exp and 100grs
Ez-Load: 4''1/4
Ez-L + Masking T: 2''
I think, as long I have OD of .507-.508 it shoots smaller groups than a loose sabot.
<<I would worry about the adhesive tape not coming off the bullet in a uniform manner, and causing instability as the bullet sheds the tape, or only part of it. But it's worth a try. Should be interesting.

That was also my concern BUT the Masking Tape never left the bullet!!! I found it with the bullet behind the target. I can't say for Scotch tape.
I think I'll try paper later but no so sure about Christmass tape

RE: Bullet to loose
Good report Salar. First one I've seen with the tape thing. Never would have thought masking tape would stay on a bullet like that for 100 meters. Did you have a one-thickness wrap, or more?
