When placed into the Harvester sabot, the bullet sits on the bottom. When placed into the other sabot (on the right), the bullet will climb upwards with time. The mystery as to why the sabot scatters bullets, seems to answered. It only took a good question to find the issue. The sabot doesn't fit the bullet correctly.
