Sabots for $500 Alex.....
 

Triumph owners.......lend me your ear....for thou hath the knowledge that I seeketh....Ok I'll get serious :P
What sabot are you using in your Triumphs?? I believe that some of you were using Harvester Short Black sabot---correct?? Where can I get some? Is there anything better---for the Triumph? I have GOT to get my Nikon Omega sighted in as ML season is FAST approaching (Oct 10!!!). I have my Shockwave 250gr, I (finally) have my CCI primers. Now I need the best sabots to get this baby right. I still plan on using 777 pellets 2x50gr most likely. Help!!!!------DrASUS :action-smiley-099:

I can only speak for myself, I have a new Triumph that when I first got it I did not think I was going to any sabot down it very well, including 'crush ribs' but today I can load most anything I want to. I use the thick Blue MMP 40/50, I use the MMP-HPH24, and the MMP Orange .458/50 sabot. I shoot 110/120 grain T7-2f loads from it and it is accurate gun.

For me to be able to load these thicker sabots - I did have to do some bore polishing with J-B Bore Paste.

In about 90 % of TC guns the Short Black Harvester and 250 SW are very very good.
Different bullets some times need different sabot In the same gun that shots the SBH and SW real well the 250 and 300 Gold Dot shoot best with the 300+ Harvester and I have to trim the SBH a bit shorter to get the best results with a 451 dia 240 gr or 130 gr XTP or Gold Dot.
The best accuracy combination for Triumph's is usually the 250 SW and SBH with 110 or 120 gr Blackhorn. Lee

Where do I get Short black Harvester sabots? And is Harvester the brand name? Sorry for my ignorance--DrASUS

I forgot to add that My Triumph was snug...but nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion. I have ALWAYS ran a wet cleaning wipe and the a dry one after EVERY shot...Dunno if this has helped or not---DrASUS

Whats the difference between the MMP and the SBH?? Does one perform better than the other with 250Gr SW?? Thanks---DrASUS :poke:

A big price difference to start. I also believe Harvester is more consistent sabot and made with better materials. They both do have there place. Your Triumph should have no problem with the short black.

uh---according to the above links provided the MMPs are $5.76 for a 50pk and the SBH are $5.95 for a 50pk. I don't see a big price difference......am I missing something---DrASUS

and will my triumph be more accurate with the SBH rather than the factory TC S****wave sabots?? I'm about to order some SBH----DrASUS

also confirming that if I have 250gr TC SW (bonded blue tip) that the bullet is a .45 caliber???

I don't pay to much attention to difference in price. The first concern is the difference in thickness you are not likely to get the Short Black MMP down you barrel I think it might be the thickest sabot made, might fit a White Rifle. The other concern is the plastic they are made of; those of us that shoot max loads of BH fined they do not hold up as well. I used to use MMP exclusively but found the choices limited by the performance. Lee

I hope these work....I bit the bullet and ordered 2 packs! My TC SW blue tip 250gr will fit correct??????? I only plan to shoot 2x50 777 pellets or 3x50 777 pellets depending what my Triumph likes to shoot. So far I think she likes the 2x50---DrAsus :fighting0007:

The blue tip are bonded that's not necessary for sight in or practice, I use the cheaper yellow tips for practice and deer , I use the blue tips for elk big boar and bear. I also use the Lehigh 200 50/40 and 50/45 250grand for close hunting in the woods I have used the 250 Gold Dot along with several different sabots. But for starting out I would recommend the SW250 and the SBH for a Triumph as most Triumph's do quite well with them. Lee

You will pay no shipping on the MMP sabots

doh! Now I see.....oh well I've already ordered the Harvesters...I'll see how my gun likes them...if she only likes them so so I may give the MMPs a shot. thanks--DrASUS
