Well this is a bit off the subject but I have noticed several people commenting about how hard it is to load a sabot,their are quite a number of differant thicknesses of petals on a bunch of different sabots so fighting that battle is not only unnecessary but these people would find that when they get the right combination not only will it load very little if any harder than a PB but it will also shoot better and more consistantly.

Right, I am aware of that. I use the Harvester Crush Rib sabot, Cabelas sells them for $5.99 and MidSouth sells them for $4.99. I know MMP now sells a thin EZ load sabot, but I don't know the product number. I like the idea of someone on the forum to buy 4 or 5 different kinds and try them all in your guns. I now also clean between shots even in the field, using either alchol or bore butter. The alchol tends to dry out quickly, so I often forget to moisen them up, but the bore butter is always there and works as general fouling cleaner. I don't know if that is OK for long term care of the firearm, but I know it works for me. I am not saying other should do it either, that is their choice.
