that will depend on your rifle. In one rifle of mine being a Knight, I use the sabots that came with the Hornady XTP's. In my Black Diamond XR the fit is too tight so I switch over toa HPH-24 or a Crushed Rib sabot.

Sticking a suggestion in here that may not be wanted... just ignore it if it is no help....
I usually is less expensive to purchase bullets (XTP's) in a reloading box of 100 ea. or 50 ea.(for the heavier bullets) then purchase the sabot you need.
If it not to late youmight want to look a Speer Gold Dots vs the XTP's the Gold Dots are bonded and the expansion is controlled to a point in the bullet. I call them a "poor man's Nosler." Excellent mushroom capabilities and you can not shoot the lead out of the copper as you can an XTP....

RE: Omega and XTP
I use them quite a bit and am happy with the results. In my Omega they shoot real well with the MMP-HPH24 sabot which loads easy and shoots good and I buy the bullets in boxs of 100 this saves quite a bit of money over a years time for some one who may burn 20 or 25 pounds of powder a year. Lee
