Default Hornady .430, 240gr xtp sabots?

Picked up a pack of 20 .430 240gr xtp with the supplied sabot (green). loaded and shot well from my Triumph. I'm heading into the city for some muzz. supplies this weekend (broke my clean/loading jag, powder) and would like to pickup some bulk .430's. Are the bulk green Hornady sabots the same as the one's supplied in the 20 pack? I think this guy carries them. I know I can order them, but just thought if he has them. I'll grab them.

I do the same as midwestxpress. I like the 300 grain better then the 240 grain. But yes, they are the same bullet. And the sabot I believe in the pack is a MMP HPH-24

Thanks guys. So they are HPH-24's. They load very much the same as the Barnes TEZ, which I'm using as my hunting load. Picked up the 240gr for my daughter to shoot. I had her shooting the 230gr, .451 xtp's with T7 pellets. Used up the pellets, which were last years, don't plan on buying more. The 240gr .430 shoot well with a little Blackhorn behind them. We'll see what kind of load she can handle with these.

Cay...Isn't the MMP-24 for a .452 and not a .430???

I keep on hand the green Harvesters, the short black MMPs and the MMP-24...These handle most of the bullet combinations me and my buddies have come up with...

The MMP sabot for .430 bullets is the green HPH/12.

i've never ordered from MMP. My MMP sabots came from Cabela's, i think. Found this while browsing:

Correction:

i must have been asleep last evening. There are two MMP sabots for the .430 bullet. One is the HPH/12 and there is another one: That one must be the HPH/24.
