I am gonna give these HORNADY 45 CAL /.452 DIA 300GR XTP MAGNUMS a try thru the omega what sabots are you guys using to send these on their way? Is anybody shooting these in an Omega? I have been using shockwaves(250gr) just thought I'd experiment a bit w/ some new combiniations Price is right My local gunshop has them in 50 ct box 16.75 I pay almost that for 15 shockwaves Thanks for all your knowledge I truly learn alot from this site and its greatly appreciated !

Either the MMP or Harvesters, but not having a TC I cant give you a size as the TC's bore's are usually tighter. A good choice in bullet though, even the 45cal 240gr XTP Mag is a excellant choice. I prefer the lighter 240 for a flatter trajectory, they are devestating on Deer!

In my Omega using that same bullet, i use the Harvester Crush Rib Sabot.

I use both the Crush Rib and the regular black sabot from Harvester. Just depends on which gun I'm shooting them out of. Great bullet though. I've never been let down by it.

The Shock Waves are MMP HPH 24 sabots if they fit your gun well you can order direct from MMP

Our Omega has a very tight barrel. Even with a clean barrel, I really have to lean on it with the 300 gr XTP in a black crush rib. But, does that sucker shoot. Usually stays under 1" at 100 yds. Our Encore, on the other hand, has a much looser barrel. Crush ribs practically fall in. Even plain black Harvesters are pretty loose. Accuracy...well, on a good day, it will stay in 3".

keyshunter The MMP 12 will probably solve your problem if not the short black MMP will they and the old Knight have the thickest petals.

I use the Harvester crush rib (green) in the 50/44 and the 300 gr .429 XTP and the crush rib (blue) .45/40 for the 200 gr .400 XTP.
I also use the Harvester black CR 50/45 for the 300 gr T/C shock waves and 451 XTPs. I throw the shock wave supplied sabot away. They are too inconsistant with the amount of pressure to load them and greatly affects accuracy.
