Me I like the crused rib sabot, it will shoot everything an goes down easy in a field clean barrel.
I have "crush ribs" also but I have found that the MMP HPH-3p-EZ works better for me than the the "crush ribs." The 3 petal EZ is MMP's answer to the really tight barrel. When I was testing them against the "crush rib" I found that I achieved a higher velocity with them than I did the "crush rib" - but then again the rifle I was using for the testing did not need either one of those two sabots to load easily. It normally loads HPH-24's without a probelm.
This picture is really not fair to either bullet but, I wanted to show you. These bullets were fired in the a damp (well wet) clay waterbar then retrieved and cleaned up a little bit.
As you can see I shot the laed right out of the Hornady's and was left with just the copper... while the Speer's (my poor man's Noslers) heald together very well. I all fairness of the ten hornady's shot into the bank not all of them were stripped, but all the Hornady's suffered signifcant weight loss while the Speers did not.
I prefer to walk up to a dead deer.
AMEN to that...
