I got this data along with some sabots I ordered from the E. Arthur Brown Company. I also have data for 300 H&H Mag, 300 Weath Mag, 308 Norma mag, 30-40 Krag, 300 Savage, 30-06, 30 Carbine, 30 Herrett, and 30-30 Win.

So far I've loaded sabots for the K-31 in 7.5x55 and 7.62x25 Tokarev(handgun)and have had great results, they're tack drivers.

Something important to add, Do Not use in rifles with muzzle brake's! Bullets turning sideways can be a dangerous thing.
