RE: Lookin for a new bullet and sabot
What you need is a better sabot. There are some that will make that loading managable and not a fight to the finish. In fact, how was the accuracy with a sabot loading that tight? I use the Harvester Crushed Rib sabots for about 75% of my sabot shooting. I also have some Nosler and some Thompson Center that fit tighter, but most my rifles like the crushed rib.
