You shot SLAP through the muzzle break or did you take the break off?
The fellows out of Rock Island who do quite a good MTT on the Barretts advise guys not to shoot the SLAP through a Barrett. I believe them. Chamber pressures are huge and if a petal from the SABOT lodges in that break, you will probably have problems.
SLAP has impressive ballistics but the accuracy leaves something to be desired. Last I heard you could expect one of fifty to have in bore sabot failure which chews up barrels and I don't think Olin ever got a handle on making the SABOT petal as perfectly as it should for decent accuracy. They will put a hole through things though. Oh yes, I think part of the accuracy problem was also related to slipping inside the SABOT.
I pulled a projo from a round of SLAP and dissected it. Interesting construction. Will try to find it and post a picture.
Too much time on my hands I think.
