I personally have trouble loading most Hornady Sabots for some reason. Now the Thompson Center Shockwave sabots load fine for the most part. If you really want to make sure, get some crushed rib sabots. I was shooting my CVA the other day and those are the only things I could get to go down the bore. And they shot real good too by the way. I was loading Hornady XTP's in them and it placed them down range just fine.

I think it's Harvester crush ribs sabot. I have a CVA kodiac .50 cal, I had the same problem loading my bullets with the sabots that came with it.I read some threads here and bought a pack of crush ribs and it did make the loading easier. I haven't shot my rifle yet but I did load the bullet in the rifle and it was pretty easy compare to the ones that came with the pack. I think the crush ribs shouldmake your loadings easier.

The Shockwaves are definatly easier to load in the MagBolt I have. The MagBolt and hunterbolt are basicly the same gun. If you have any full caliber conicals you could swedge one end of it out a little larger and then push it through your bore to get an accurate measurement of the bore and groove dimentions, that will help in deciding what sabots to buy if you need to get something else. It also helps to know this info when talking to Harvester, or who ever, aboutsabots for you gun.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Well, I went out and bought a pack of shockwaves. The box of hornady 240gr. xtp's don't load in my gun but the shockwaves do! I tried pushing a shockwave down with a sabot from the pack of hornady's and that also worked. I guess it's just the 45cal xtp bulletsthat are too big. I'm still looking for crush rib sabots that will hopefully work with the xtp's.Thanks for all replys.
I went to the biggest Gun shop in Montreal andthe only powder they had left was t7 30gr. pellets! I guess I'll have to try the new bullets over pyro only this weekend.

I shoot the shockwaves in my Omega but the XTP's are awful tight and the chrushribs are so loose the they don't group as good. I an wondering if the sabots in the shock waves are MMPHPH 24's that would explain a lot.Lee
