Thats what i ran into also. Knurling them between 2 files sometimes fixes that if you dont have other sabots. You shot the PR QTs, those are a MMP sabot too and shot fine correct? I think Carlos shot some too with good results.
Its kinda weird how just a different weight or bearing length can change how well a sabot performs. I do get better groups with 180gr XTPs with the MMP by far but using a 200gr SST its not as much difference until i push the limits.
BTW i ordered some of those Speer 40-180gr "short barrel" bullets just to compare them on paper.
