Default New sabot needed

Well had a chance to sight in the iron sights this morning.
BH 209 90 grains with 250 yellow tip and bonded blue tip again using the yellow sabot.
I had a nice softball group at the 100 yard target.
I think the outside diameter runs .504
First round loaded no problem,a different story on the second round .
I had to lean a little on the Ramrod.
I have some Hornady 240 xtp mag. With mmp #24 black sabot I Know these ant going down the bore with out a struggle I think they run .530
I need to purchase another sabot a y one have a idea which sabot I need.

Yellow T/C sabot is the SuperGlide. I have no hard data for loaded OD
MMP HPH-24 is around .503-.504 loaded OD so i dont see how it would be larger if yours already measure .504.
HPH-12 on the other hand is larger and did ship with some T/C bullets.

This is how to tell the difference between HPH 12 and 24....The base is stepped differently and the number looks different. Its stamped into the mold vs looking etched/engraved. HPH-24 is on the right even though its blue.

Try Harvester Black Crushribs for the next easier loading sabot.

I really prefer the MMP HPH-3P-EZ to the Crush Rib - but truly that is a personal preference



This chart was made up several years ago - I think it still applies today.

I use BH209 100g (vol), XTP Mag 240g, and the black Havester curshrib sabots. I get <2" groups at 100 yards. They are deadly on deer.
