Default Crush Rib sabots

I finally got out to the range this a.m. I wanted to try the Harvester crush rib sabot/250 gr. Shock Wave in my 50 cal. Omega. For my first shot I used a 300 gr. hornady XTP with a green sabo and 2 50 gr. 777 pellets. I just wanted to foul the barrel to see how the crush rib would load. The crush rib/ S.W. combo loaded very easily, just moderate pressure on the ram rod. I really think T/C packed the wrong sabots with my S.W.'s. The bullet doesn't fit the sabot right, the sabot appears to be right for a 44 cal pill. Next time I'll try loose 777 and the crush ribs for accuracy. I also fired 10 350 gr. Maxi Hunters with 80 gr. of Pyro R.S. to iron out the bore, next time I'll shoot the other 10 Maxis.
