Just received this email from Dan, the owner of Bull Shop Bullets. Some have used his bullets with sabots.
Dan's Email Responding To my question RE: using sabots with his bullets:
G-Day Larry Thanks for the well wishes and the invite to your site. I will try to find time to check it out. To try and answer your question the best thing would be to have molds made without lube grooves for the sabots. I will say this however that there have been some fellas buying some of my pistal designs and using them in a sabot and doing well. They are of cource using them without lube and I am sizing to the exact prescribed diameter for the sabot. So I guess you dont know till ya try. Got a full plate right now but would not be opossed to adding some designs specific to sabot to our line up in the future. Why dont you ask arround and see what kind of interest there would be. Also things like diameters, weights, and meplate size. Lets see what happens. BIC/Daniel

Great! looking forward to what you find out. A BIG conical Out of that RMC would be nice if there is a Bison stampede or an angry Cape Buffalo down here in Conestoga...It could happen

Dan is currently planning on adding a couple new .50 moulds to his collection. It's a design which UC has been playng around with. It "sort of" mirrors the trashcans I gave to you at Loshboughs, Loggy. Should be a good shooter.,,

Yep,,,,I just casted 50 of 'em today. Going to the range tomorrow morning for a final tune-up before the boar hunt. Mike has the best price going on the felt wads. I haven't bothered to use anything else.

Loggy,,,,if you need some you'd better hurry. Dan posted this at DWBs.
"ATN. Ladys and germs. We have good news and bad news. First the good, with the help of all here we have become financially successful enough to now own two homes. We recently bought a home in Montana. The bad, is we are going there for the winter and will not be taking orders from a deadline of sept 30 through God willing some time in 2/08. I am planing three months in Martinsdale Montana with no phone or computer. If yer gona need um for winter get um now. Yup snow birds, sorta." BIC/BS

Loggy he has been back in operation for quite awhile. But as Bat indicated above, those wanting some of his boolits (including the new UC Shorts ) had best get their orders in very soon. His turnaround is amazingly fast and his prices are still unbeatable. He also is making conicals for the .54 and .58 calibers (I think... email your needs).
