    Default Barnes expander MZ
    This is a question for all the Barnes shooters. Is there a sabot that can be used to make the Expander MZ load easier? I have been shooting them out of my Optima Elite and my wifes Optima pro and they are a devil to load?. I can do it, but my wife really has problems. The accuracy I am getting with them now is fine and I dont want to lose that. Oh I'm shooting the 250 grainier.

    I use the Harvester Crushed Rib sabot with a 300gr Expander MZ in my CVA Wolf. 100 yard target, bullet recovered from my 08 deer.

    The Barnes expander comes packaged with an MMP-HPH-12 Sabot, you can try the HPH-24 or the Harvester Black crushed rib as previously mentioned.
