Try a crush rib sabot, it may help.

If you use the right sabot it will alleviate your problem.
If you have a very tight TC try the Crush Rib or the yellow 3 petal thin wall. Lee

Barnes mz's are tough to load in my rifles as well. I'm gonna try some crushed rib sabots in mine and see how they work.

If you are using bottail bullets be sure you get the right sabot. It may not be true for all guns but when I was doing some testing of those bullets the newer square ended one grouped much better in all 3 guns. Lee

The newer Barnes TEZ comes with a Blue Sabot that is easier to load in the TC barrels and it also comes with the Aero Tip. The TEZ is not a boat tail and you can use the Harvester Black Crushed rib sabot to make loading even easier and still group good. The terminal performance seems to be the same under a wide range of powder charges 80-150 grains 777 anyway.
