Didn't the V1 have a one caliber bearing surface? edge. That's what was requested, but I don't think I ever checked. I have 6 of the original 50 made and they are more than one caliber for sure.

Just had an exchange with folks at CEB to clear up a detail on my order. I mentioned they might see a flood of orders after the recent discussion on Doug's. The rep said that has indeed been the case. They are slammed and will be at lest 2-3 weeks clearing backorder.

Anyone shooting these with Sabots in a 45 and what type of accuracy in MOA/velocities? I am trying to figure out what bullet to start with and look better than the Barnes 195s if the BC is .3ish.
Plan is a 27 or 28" barrel 1:20 and use will be mule deer and elk.

I was under the impression these will not work in sabots. Did something in the latest design change?

The original intent with these was saboted. Unfortunately the initial tests trying to get them to shoot saboted was disastrous. Several shooters tried, no on had any success with any of the versions. They are selling version 1 from what I understand. Try at your own risk but be prepared for utter disappointment.

No worries or disappointment. If anyone buys them and don't like them or can't get them to shoot, just let us .40 cal shooters know, we will help you get rid of them...

CEB either went with calculated and didn't inflate or they went off of user input and got a bad report. They likely have never fired one of those bullets in house.

Last I talked to them they never shot them, no gun to shoot them with. Dans always intrigued with these smokeless muzzleloaders but does not have one. He appreciates seeing targets and deer shot with his bullets.

Calculated BC was .330.

I figure .300 is in the ballpark. That's the number Steve used when he was still on the board.

I saw the .330. Steve and Carlos have put a lot of them down range and had figured it at .300. Not a huge deal until you have a custom dial made and move out to 400+ yards. If real-world BC is .330 that's awesome, but I don't think it's quite that high. Just trying to help.

No, I meant when you posted about when Steve used to be here and he posted two posts above you I would go with real world proof every time. It would also make sense that they would be a little lower than predicted as they were apparently produced with a longer shank than the design called for.

Steve's back! Thanks for pointing it out, I glossed right over the username.

I ordered more 40 cal 240CEB's and have no worries about the bc, like Steve said, that number is a generic number they threw on there cause they have no real world data to feed off of. Next time our range has a muzzleloader only day and let us stretch it out like they did this fall, I will shoot the CEB's out to 400 and see what we come up with. May even get to try them in the new Shilen 40 pending on timing.. Don't trust that Steve guy, he's shady!

He was leaving for a hunt soon so didn't take me up on the offer.

Cutting Edge is about 3hrs from me. I will try to make it up there one day with a .40 to have them get the data.
The .40cal 240's having more bearing surface is a plus IMO. Their .416 bullets don't have much bearing surface and IMO would benefit if they did for "our intended purpose."
