Other Plastic pallet theory

[huntr]

I remember those too.
I loaded some. At 3/8 steel gongs at 100 yards the target barely moved and it drilled perfect .30 caliber holes.
Between that and the fear of fouling, I stopped using them. Still have them somewhere.

Question for the pellet coaters: Do you notice any loss of expansion with the coated pellets?

thanks

A lot of stuff drills holes in mild steel plates. That's why our club has gone to AR500 plates, when the old ones get beat up.

Aside from the topic shift to coated pellets, what the OP is suggesting basically sounds like the foundation of sabot rounds which have been around for at least 100 years and work quite well.
