caygaurd,
What sabot are you using with that .458 Hornady? I believe you are shooting a 50 cal. knight correct?

The XTP is a pistol bullet. The XTP Mag is a pistol bullet that the copper in the nose has been extend and rolled over into the HP so that it will withstand the higher velocities. The Hornady .458 300 grain HP is strictly a rifle bullet (45-70) with a hollow point cavity. The copper on the .458 is thicker and will hold the bullet together better than pistol bullets at the higher velocities of a rifle.

The sabots i sent are MMP-HPH .458 Orange. I do not believe you can get them from Knight any more as Del Ramsey bought their machine. Cayugad did a comparison for me of the two and I think he thought they were pretty much the same.

the .458 has a reinforced lead center instead of copper

When Midway USA was down to six packs, I bought them out. So I shoot a .458 Orange Knight Sabot which I think is nothing more then a MMP. I also cast a 405 FP pure lead .457 projectile that I shoot out of them. I also shoot a Remington .458 405 grain copper coated FP commonly shot in 45/70 governments in the sabots. I am down to a couple packs now, so I will have to get ahold of Del and order some soon.

cayugad,
Thanks for the reply on the .458's
If you look on the bottom of the orange knight sabot (Powder Side), and it has anumber inscribed in it I'm almost sure that they are Del's. He helped me when I was trying to identifysome T/C sabots. T/Chas had 3 or 4 different sabot makers, I think they are buying from Del again.
