Has anyone seen much of a difference in performance between the two sabot listed above. I have some Harvester crush rib already and just ordered some MMP (tan color) to try out with my .45 CVA MR-x. I'm curious if anyone has any opinions about one verse the other. I know one thing... I got the some of the green sabots (unsure of the manufacturer) in a package with some .45 MZ bullets I bought in the store and they are terrible. One or two of the petals flies off during flight and it caused the bullets (TC shockwaves) to keyhole. At first I noticed them key holing in a TC hawken 1:48. I thought they were key holing because of the slower twist rate and/or some pitting that was present when I bought it. Ended up getting it reline with a 1:26 twist and then shooting cast full bore bullets and didnt think much else about it. Then I got a .45 CVA MR-X and was just experimenting with different bullets combinations and noticed a couple flyers. Didn't think much about it until I checked the target and noticed the flyers were key holing. That got me thinking, so I went and found some of the green sabots that I had shot and one or more petals where missing. I truly believe that was what was causing the keyholing. So now I am curious about other types of sabots and want to hear if anyone as had similar issues with other sabots.
