Harvester crushrib sabot
 

Can anyone tell me a good place to buy crushrib sabots. I can't find the website for harvester. I know, that with all you good muzzleloaders out there, that you know a good place to buy them. I want to try them in my Omega.

Cabelas and Mid South Shooters Supply carry them.

Here is the website - things have changed recently - the parent company is re-organizing things.

http://www.harvesterbullets.com/

This website will give you additions outlets for the product.

Another thought to share, there may be another sabot on the market in a few months that might perform better than the "crush rib" - might keep that in mind if you order 'crush ribs'

Thanks for the info, sabotloader. I will keep watch for the new one and will try a few of the crushribs. It sure is good to be able to get info, from you guys, that have so much more experience with muzzleloaders than I do.

What sabot have you been using? if you do not mind me asking...

RE: Harvester crushrib sabot
 

I have been using the ones that come with the bullets, if they aren't too tight ( which they usually are in my Omega). I have some black HPH24s that I use then. I have quite a few new bullets to try-- 250 & 300 gr Shockwaves, 300 gr Barnes expanders, 285 gr Knight ultimate slam, Barnes new poly tipped( when Cabelas get them off of back order) 290 gr, And 45 caliber Gold Dots 300 gr. I wanted to make sure I had a sabot that would work with all of them. I don't know how much I'll learn from all of them, but I plan on having a good time trying them all out.

If you already have the 24's, adding some crush ribs I think is a good plan...

Pay particular attention to the different loading pressures from a .452to a .451, for me there is a noticeable difference.

The regular Harvester sabots are also worth trying. My T/C likes them with the Barnes bullets - which are rod busting tight with the sabots Barnes provides with them.

Do you find a difference between MMP-HPH-24's andthe Harvester Regular Long Sabot? I know for Triple Se7en, hehas indicated that the Harvester loads easier. For me it is the opposit I have them both and get me consistent loads, clean bore or fouled borefrom the 24's loading .452 bullets... loading .451's it is a non-issue they both go down about equal.
