RE: ez load vs. reg sabots
It will go down...I have always been leery of the ezload, superglide, etc just due to my thoughts that the friction/resistance needs to be there for accuracy and proper pressure development.....

RE: ez load vs. reg sabots
I bought a Knight Disc Elite this past summer and shot the 290tmz Barnes with the EZ load's behind 3 777 pellets. After each shot the petals of the sabot were blown off and I was getting copper fouling in the bore when I cleaned. The groups were on one day and off the next... I still don't really know what was going on but I sold the whole mess and went back to TC never to leave again!

RE: ez load vs. reg sabots
The 250 grain SST bullets in the tight fitting red or black sabots shoot the best inmy Encore.They are hard to load but the accuracy is worth it. The new Hornady Low Drag sabots with the 250 grain SST do not shoot quite as well but accuracy is acceptable. The Super Glides did not work at all in my Encore, they were all over the target at 100 yards.

I intend to try all the following in my Savage after the season:
Barnes #45105 275g XPB BC of .141, usiing HPH12
Barnes Expander MZ 300g #45131 BC .207, using HPH12
Barnes Origonal 300g #457010 Spitzer SP BC .291, using MMP Orange
Barnes X-bullet 300g XFN 45832 BC .204, using MMP Orange
Barnes X-bullet 300g FB 45802 BC .235, using MMP Orange
I have the Barnes origonals already and the Flat Nose, which is the XFN 45832. I have heard of folks shooting a crushed rib sabot with a TMZ in their Savage rifles with a #8 washer in the bottom, because the TMZ is boat tailed and the washer helps keep the sabot tight to the side.BestWishes let us know how you do.
