2 petal sabots

Anyone know if the 2-petal sabots supplied with the 300gr Shockwaves can be ordered in bulk somewhere? I've had good luck pushing these bullets hard in these sabots, so if the 325gr FTXs don't shoot good in the MMP 4-petal sabots I don't want to reduce charge before trying the 2-petal ones...but even if it worked it's not practical to use packs of SWs as a sabot source in the long term.

If the 'super glide' sabot as pointed toabove is the one you are looking for the MMP HPH-3p-EZ should very close to it except - 3 petals and black in color. The 2 petal is an MMP contracted to TC for their tight bores, MMP can not sell it in bulk to the public - so along came the 3P...

Even if MMP could sell them,the price is about the same.

These sabot work more better than the super glide in my rifle, and are less money.

Wow, $10.22 for 50 that is almost double what you can buy 50 Harvester Crushed rib for, $5.56:

the Crushed Ribs work for me with .452 and .458 bullets, the grooves on the side allow easy sliding down the barrel. The base is STRONG on the Crushed rib. They seem to work well for me with most bullets, they do NOT work well with Parker Ballistic Extremes, cause they are .450, not .452 like most MLer bullets.

Yup, the only time i don't use crushed ribs, is when i don't have any. Have plenty of the other laying around, cuz i don't use them, cuz i don't like them. As you know, the crush rib and the nosler make an accurate deadly pair.
