Default Broken petals on sabot

I tried some new bullets out of the omega today still waiting on scope for new Traditions. I tried some T/C Mag express with the xtp bullets in 240 gr. Due to snow sabots were easy to find laying on the snow. It sems all petals broke off and were laying approx 10-15 ft from muzzle . It was cold today about 10-15 degrees, bullet/sabot combo were not overly hard to load yet didn't slide right down either. I would say a nice fit just snug enough. I grouped 5 shots at about 2 inch group @ 100 yds w/out my nice shooting bench setup I just used shooting sticks So accuracy is A ok probably 1 ' or so w/ a good rest. Why would the petals be off sabots? cheap sabots w/ bullets, Cold weather any other ideas Also are these t/c bullets basically the hornaday xtp 's cause they look identical.
