wtnhunt Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Low drag loading. They are supposed to be easier to load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Good question Casey. Why? Skinnier jackets? Better lube? Undersized????? I don't get it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I can't tell you why but.... I've shot Knight bullets and sabots for a while, which is a Barn's bullet with who knows what sabot. Ungodly hard to load in my Encore. Bought some Harvester sabots and it's night and day. Easy, easy loading. Why?... don't know, don't care...

WhiteSmoke Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Sabots I also have a T/C but it's an Omega Z5. T/C's typically have tight bores and require thinner sabots. I would advise you to try the MMP brand of sabots - http://www.mmpsabots.com/index.html and see how they work for you. You will want the HPH series. They make three sabots for T/C rifles...the HPH12, HPH24 and the 3Petal-EZ. I first tried the 24 but it was just too tight, so I went to the 3-Petal-EZ which was perfect. I use 110 grains of Pyrodex RS and a Hornady 45-caliber (.452) HP/XTP in the 3-Petal-EZ and shoot .75" groups with it. There's a good description of the various sabots on MMP's website that will answer a lot of questions. A lot of very knowledgable folks consider MMP sabots to be the best on the market. They are reasonably priced and the shipping is free. If you have any questions, just call them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
