Ron will have to tell you for sure but I would think he was probably using a MMP 458x50 sabot.
Very much appreciated.

Ya, there is nothing wrong with it other than a little discoloration and the edges of the flutes are a little dull...

I dunno. looking closer at it, the left side there looks a tad bit distended and the bottom of the flute looks like it was "pushed out" a good bit.
