Hey all. I just finished my first box of Hornaday 240gr. XTP's and those things were a bear to load in my TC Pro Hunter.
Couple things... I am not sure what bore diameter your PH might be so I am just going with a couple of thoughts... the other thing I am wondering and assuming the the 240's you have been using are 44 cal... If that is the case there are not as many sabots choices in the 44 cal as there are in the 50 class. The only alternative might be the Harvester - Green 44 Cal sabots or the Harvester 'crush rb'.

Did you purchase a box of 240's and then get a package of sabots or did it come as bubble pack from Hornady of TC? The brand makes a difference in which sabot might have been packed with it.

All of this is just guess-work on my part - but knowing that youhave a TCproduct and talking45 cal bullets - you will probably need aMMP HPH-24 or a comparable Harvester either 'Short Black or Regular Black' - if these fit your bore you have it made... If they are to tight then you will be looking at the MMP HPH-3p-EZ load (same as TC's Supper Glide) or the Harvester 'crush rib' with the 'crush rib being slightly thinner than the 3p sabot.

If you can let me know more abou what you were using - I might be able to tell what sabot you were using also.
