The blue tape spins because the ramrod spins. The ramrod spins because the bullet forces it to. The bullet spins because the sabot forces it to. The sabot spins because the rifling forces it to. Neither the sabot nor the bullet slip.
Follows is a target shot three times prior to last season. Each bullet/sabot was placed in the muzzle the same way each time. The petals of the crush rib sabot were oriented the same each time.
That the rifling worked on the bullet is a fact. The one thousand words the photo speaks, clearly tell us whether the bullet does, or does not slip, is moot.

You know, it's getting warmer out and the snow is melting... There's really an easy way to answer this question. It's a radical concept called "Experimentation". Shoot a group indexed and one not. In less than an hour you'll have definitive proof.

I do not believe it is quite that simple. After much time spent trying different things as far as indexing is concerned I believe that the bullet can be pushed slightly off center by the rifling being between the petals on one side and on the petals on the other side.
