I really think I can tell you, that you can load a XTP almost as easy as a PB and have a better bullet, if you use the correct sabot.

The easiest way to let you know is to use MMP Sabots... MMP make three different thickneses of sabots....
a. HPH-12's-> these are the thicker variety used by some guns and supplied with the Hornady SST products....
b. HPH-24's ->these are mid range thickness sabotthat will work with the majority of tight bore rifles made today, these were the sabots being suppliedwith TC Shockwavesuntil they switched to the new super-glides.. whch you and I can not buy...
c. HPH-3p-EZ -> this sabot is the one made by MMP to compliment the super-glide and is available to the public. It is also the thinnest of the MMP .452 sabots - this sabot will allow you to slide the XTP down with little to no pressure - even with a dirty barrel...

With my tight barreled Omega or Remingtons I normally load HPH-24's but I do carry a speed loader with a HPH-3p-ez in it.

Just FYI -> the Harvester regular sabot would be equivelent to a HPH-24 and the Harvester "crush rib" would be the equivelent to a HPH-3p-ez.

Sabots do not need to load hard anymore... + you have a huge selection of really good bullets to choose from with a lot better ballistics than the PB's... even the areotips.
