I called T/C about the last batch and they sent me 15 new sabots.The new sabots have a number molded in the bottom of the base. The sabots that load hard have the number molded in the bottom of the bullet pocket. As posted they have shorter and thicker petals than the correct ones. The correct sabots load about as easily as the crush ribs. I'll call T/C again tomorrow, can never have to many sabots.
