Notice the powder cup of the sabot and muzzle-loaders.com list the BC as .265 which is the same as the claimed BC as the 40cal 200gr SST.
This is obviously not a HPH12 or HPH24 sabot dyed blue. So it must be a MMP 50x40. Them sabot petals look really thick to be anything else.

I can see what's in the picture, I've shot hundreds of them since 2003-2004. The problem is, that picture isn't attached to any website that's selling them, that I could find. Did you read the description at Mid-South and see the item#?
Go to T/C's website and tell me what caliber the .50 cal 200 grain bullet is in their Mag Express Sabots are. Show me a picture of a blue saboted bullet anywhere on that site.

Like I said, it's a mess, especially when you read what MidSouth has posted on their site. You're hard pressed to find any description or picture of the .50/.40 Shockwave in a blue sabot anywhere that is selling them.

This is what happens when marketers and website people have absolutely no clue what they are entering. T/C sure didn't help them out either.
Muzzle-Loaders pic keeps defaulting back to the black saboted .45 caliber 250 grain bullets. If you scroll down and click on 200 grain, the blue saboted bullets will flash for a second or two, then default back to the black. You won't even see it unless you scroll back up, and if you aren't quick, it's gone already. At least they list the BC's down below, so you can figure it out that way.

The thing is, who's information do you trust? Who has old information, who has new information, who has wrong information, and who had the right information? Even T/C's information is incomplete, at best.
