The sabot may well be the important part of the combination, so just in case you don,t already know the most commen combination for an Omega is the MMP-HPH 24 or the standard Harvestor. My Omega shoots best with the MMP-HPH24 with all .451 and .452 bulletsand the only one that shoots better than that sabot and a 250 gr Gold Dot is the 50/40 200gr SW or the blue 50/40 and thw 200gr 40cal XTP. It is often best to check out some sabot and bullet combinations buy taking out the breach plug and trying different ones buy pushing them through the barrel before you go to the range. Lee
Agree 100% Lee. A sabot needs to be "just tight enough", not too loose, not too tight, but just right. I have heard it called the "Goldilocks of Sabots", so it is NOT push it down with 1 hand, and it is not pound it down with a hammer. But just tight enough to offere good resistence going down. Now since a lot of BP and subs are dirty and putting a sabot down a dirty barrel can be a problem, I swab the barrel between >>>every<<< shot, at range with 1 rusty duck swab or alchol/windshield washer fluid and 1 dry patch. Hunting, 1 bore butter patch with light bore butter rubbed into patch so it slides down barrel to clean the fouling. Chap Gleason
