My rifle has a tight bore, and i was nervous about trying these bullets and sabots. They are indeed usable in my Omega, though it does take a strong push to get them down to the powder. They will be tried next hunting season.

I've tried them in my Genesis. They shoot pretty good and are very easy to load. But I like the Spit-Fire MZ's better. They load very tight but group better.

I shoot a NE Huntsman which has a tight bore,I found that the use of a sabot from MMP
called the 3petal-ez works great with the bullets I'm using.These sabots made loading
much easier.
