Mike and Patrick,

I appreciate your reports and heads up. I have an Omega that's been giving me fits - finally gotreasonble groups with 250 TC shockwaves and hph-24 sabots. But even with swabbing every shot, still real hard to load.
Looking forward to try the 3p's.

Thanks again
Steve

I think you will really like these. If you are getting 24's down the 3p's should go down really well..... Let me know. I have an Omega but it is not that tight....

Excellent post as always, good information for
those of us with the tight bores. Glad you got
to do the testing for these new one's. Keep us
posted on the results, and the R&D you are doing
for them. Danny

Seems to me the two posters picked for this test could be counted on to give honest summaries of their results .... and even know how to post targets showing those efforts. Good job guys.

I just called MMP and ordered some from Connie. I askedher if"the new, 3 petal sabots for 50/45 were available yet." She said they're available if you specifically ask for them, but they're not ready to be advertised yet. They don't have the packaging and instructions ready yet. Seemed like real nice folks.

MMP folks, I know we have e-mailed back and forth about this, but the people at MMP a real people running a big business - but they stand on the same ground with you and I - they are really aswesome folks set to HELP us. I just wish AR was closer to Idaho so I could go tell them personally. Theywill bend all over the place to help.

I hope they don't quit offering the tight ones. I have great luck with the tight ones. Like the barnes expanders used to be. Now I have to put subbases under them to get same accuracy with 130gr 777 loads as I used to.

I like them tight.
