Have you tried the new Shockwave with the yellow super glide sabot? I won't use them but a lot of people do. There weresome problems with the older SW and the black sabots they came with....
I was looking for a bullet/sabot combo,I apologize, when I say sabot I refer to the whole package, not just the plastic "cup".
I usually do not purchase the packages they are to expsenive - I normally purchase boxes of bullets then purchase packs of sabots - the sabots that Iknow work for me.
The "cup" is the bottom of the sabot - the formation of the cup will help identify who really makes the sabot...
What do I shoot?
I use to shoot a whole of Hornady .452 300 grain XTP's @ paper and for plinking....
For hunting I shoot two different Noslers.... a .451 Nosler Partition -> 300 grain Protected Point for elk and a 260 grain HP for whitetail or muleys...

The Noslers are really expsensive and going up in price so I am working with the Speer Gold Dot line as maybe a replacement for the Noslers... The Gold Dots are a Bonded Bullet (lead can not separate from the copper) and they have copper dot that stops expansion allowing the bullet to retain wait and continue driving through the animal..

All of these are shot in an HPH-24 sabot - the MMP HPH-3p EZ load works equally well but loads a little easier...
I should also tell you I shoot 100 grains of T7-2f with these bullets and I use the 25 acp for the ignition source vs the 209 - the 25 acp is virtually clean - no soot or blow back at all...
