Lee,

I could probably load the Harvestor sabots with one hand if I wanted to - they are pretty loose. Although that would probably vary from person to person depending on their strength. Not to try and sound macho, but I did work masonry for a long time and my upper body strength is probably greater than average. I guess it doesn't really matter - they seem to shoot good and that is the bottom line.

I will be the first to admit that I'm not in the sniper class when it comes to shooting. I've shot 3 shot groups that are very close to MOA at 100 yards with my ML, but it is the exception rather than the rule. I'd say that I'm capable of consistently shooting 2" groups at 100 yards if the rifle is capable of it and I have decent scope. The scope I'm using on my ML now is only 4 power which makes it difficult to shoot small groups at long range.
