RE: replacement sabots
You can use the Barnes TMZs in HPH 24 sabots. I have had good success by loading a HPM sub-base under them. I get about 5/8 groups, at 50 yds, with that combo and 120 grs of 777. Buy the way, Buffalo Bullets ships a 375 gr botail spitzer, all lead, and they come in HPM black sabots so they must think a botail will work in them.
I killed two deer with that combo this year and was able to load the second shot without swabbing and it worked fine on the second deer. I didn't get very good accuracy with just the HPH 24 sabots. I don't know what the sub base did, all I know is that it worked in my Omega.
Hope this helps. I use the 290 gr bullet.

You are correct, but there were a lot of SW's packaged with the black HPH-12's right after MMP got the contract. Those are the ones causingthe problem... actually if you have some of those call TC and they will replace them with the correct ones...
I am not sure that you can tell from the base or the markings, because of the White I own I use both and I have to be very careful not to mix the two...

sabotloader, ithas beenmy impression that the SW comes with a smaller diameter sabot then the sst which are packaged with HPH12's. I remember theyhad different markings in the baseand mic'd different, though I can't recall thedetails off the top of my headand don't have any on hand to check. Iwas toldSW's were packaged withthe HPH24's butstill unconfirmed!

mayguy, that is interesting. I was told the same as sabotloader and continue to read this to be the case. I am going to do some more digging though...thanks
