RE: Moving away from Powerbelt bullets; Need recommendations

A huge amount of information and suggestions. Thanks! On Chapman’ssuggested reading of http://randywakeman.com/MuzzleloadingWithBarnes.htm I got to thinkingabout the “Sabot fit is important” statement coupled with “Unfortunately, many manufacturers have never read Lyman's, or don't care to have consistent or uniform tolerances.” and :

TIGHT .50 Calibers (Thompson-Center, and others .4995 in. -.5015 in. barrels)
MID-RANGE BORES (Knight, some imports, others .5015 -.5025 in. barrels)
LARGER-BORES (.5025 in. - .5035 in.)

I seem to recall reading on this sight that the CVA Optima Pro’s barrels are considered "tight."Can I, therefore, assume that a Harvester Crush Rib or the MMP HPH-3p-EZ are appropriate?
