Sabotloader,
I bought the 240's in a bubble pack and they are from Hornaday. Both bullets and sabots (green ones) were in the same package. That is the only thing that crossed my mind as far as having a problem loading. I have not had the time, nor the weather, to get something different and try them. A good freind of mine uses Hornaday 250gr. SST in his regular Encore, bought in abubble pack also, and doesn't seem to have any trouble but I wasn't bright enough at the time to try them in mine.I have been wanting to try something else but this cold Ohio weather isdriving me nuts [:@] Thanks for the help.
