I have no problem with my Omega It likes them all loads nice and smooth..I think my bore is a .501 I tried Harvester Regular sabots they loaded nice..

just ordered some. the green hornady sabots have great accuracy when using 80 grains of black mag3 and dont wanna mess with things too much. the omega always gave me a hard time loading but i put up with it because it groups so well.thanks for the thumbs up!

Just so you know Hornady sabots are MMP's.

I use the green CR Sabots and Speer GDHP/Deep Curls in 240gr/.44 cal. in my Omega. They load and shoot well.

That's what I used last year in by blackdiamond. Outstanding groups. Loading wasn't too bad.
This year I moved to the black sabots and the .452 and don't quite have as good of groups...but still decent.

I shoot a .452" bullet in my Omega with an MMP HPH-24 sabot.For a follow up reload in the woods, I switch to an MMP 3 petal EZ.No swab necessary for one time only.

well the crushed ribs didnt load any easier. seems like things load nice only after running a seasoned bore butter patch down the barrel. i know you shouldnt lube a plastic sabot but i didnt notice any accuracy issue when i sent a lubed patch down the bore.does the bore butter affect the plastic after time or something? sure does load nice with just a little in the bore.
