I'll try to keep this as short as possible.Shoot an Omega.Have for two years.First shot or tried to shoot SWaves.Way too tight for loading .Just no fun at all.And actually shot poorly.Have since gone to 250Gold Dotsand or Noslers.Loaded nicely and shotVERY WELL.After two years and guessing about450 to 500 rounds and a couple of JB sessions decided to (don't know why)try some 250 gr.SWaves again.Was surprised to see they loaded a bit tight but nowhere near 2 yrs.ago.Now here's where I get befuddled.They shot unbelieveable.I won't say how tight ,cause most would not believe.The problem "is" you say,well, I had two containers both have the same bullet but the sabots are 7/8" long and 1' long,both have stepped cups.I shot the groups w/the 7/8' sabots.My questions are..why easier to load now,and have they changed the sabot to 1" from 7/8?If so? is there an MMP sabot that would work with the bullets.Quite frankly they shot so well I'd do and spend the little extra to get the exact same sabot.I have tested enough to know how critical the right sabot is.Thanks for any of your thoughts. hunt4me
