I did try the Sabertooth down my bore, and they're too loose. Much looser than a Powerbelt. I wouldn't trust them to hold a tight pressure on BH 209.
However, The PT Gold fit perfect. A nice steady pressure from muzzle to powder. I'm going out to shoot up the sample now. I just got the BH 209 too, and i'll try 100gr. I'm interested in what the recoil will be. I might go to 110gr if it's not too bad.
I see no reason why the PT won't work for me. I've read too many good reviews to think otherwise. I'll shoot these then order the bullets in bulk, and the crush rib sabots. I didn't figure it exactly, but the bullet and sabot come out to about .60 cents. Pretty good compared to the rest. Especially for a bullet that I want to shoot no matter what the price was.
Ok, it's windy, cold, and snowing, but i'm going. ..........Laters.
I also have read a lot of good reviews on the PT gold.100 gr is a good place to start.i am thinking about buying some 300 gr PT golds soon.. Ray
