A reg MMP OR Harvester Sabot will not work with the spitfire and the Barns TMZ asthey area Boattail bullet and a Boattail bullet requires a special Sabot to maintain the stabilaty as it travels down the barrle . well you can use them but you will not get the right type of Accuracy as you would with the right type of sabot. Check with Knight and see if you can buy some of the E-Z load sabots that are blue and made for the Spitfire or TMZ.

Some folks shootthe Barnes Boatails (TMZ and Spitfire) using a #18 washer in the bottom between the bullet and sabot, this keeps the sides of the sabot from letting the gas escape and they get great accuracy. Barnes also has just come out with a Flatbased TMZ called the TEZ I believe, you can get it off the Barnes site. Chap
