browtine2 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Have any of you guys shot the Hornady sabots or TC Shockwaves. Ive shot powerbelts because they're easy to load, I have arthritis. But ads are saying these new sabots are easy to load. Are they or are the manufacturers just blow'in smoke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Some of the Ez Glide sabots are easier to load than the high pressure sabots. Personally, I do not use the sabots that come with the bullets. I know my gun likes MMP high pressure sabots, so I use them for all of my .45 caliber bullets. Another option is the crushed rib sabot from Harvester. They are a bit easier to load and still give decent performance. The Hornady FPB was very easy to load in my Omega but it did not group for beans in my gun. Some have had good luck with them though. The downside is they do copper foul the bore. You have to clean the copper out after a few shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shockwaves however, group very well and I will be sticking with them for a long time I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
