Default T/|C SuperGlides

Worst sabot i ever tried.But, iactually got them to shoot in a friends Triumph so he could load it easier. Why do you ask? I find in tight bores, the short black harvesters work great.

My Encore did not like them at all. Best three shot group i ever got with the 250 grain SST/Shockwave and the Super Glides wasnearly 5" at 100 yards.

My omega liked them when I was shooting 777. I had some really nice groups. I went to the short black sabot when I started shooting BH209.

You'll just have to try them for yourself...... Any muzzleloader (or any firearm)regardless of make will shoot different bullet/sabot combos different. Even the exact same models.

They seem to fit the Omega and the Triumph alright but the groups were 2 to 4 inches while my best load shoots under an inch, yet I have heard that there are a few guns that shoot them well, real well as a matter of fact. Lee

My Omega likes them. Good groups. I was using the BH209 and the only problem was that I just could NOT get the superglide sabot to go down easy after the first shot. Thats theonly sabot that has done this so far. I have tried the regular black sabot that comes with the T/C S/W and had no problems. I have used other sabots as well but justthat damn yellow (easy glide sabot) gave me a hard time. I would like to add that I dont shoot the S/W anymore. Too expencive. I dont shoot the SST any more either. Paper punching at the range......100 primers-$5, T7 FFFg-$24, 100 bulk Sierra 240gr. bullets- $25, 100 Knight sabots-$10. Cost per shot at the range-76 cents per shot give or take a few pennies. That will go down once I start to cast my own bullets and start buying in bigger bulk. Hunting is a different story. BH209 and a Barnes 250gr TMZ.
