i just tried using one of the harvester sabots i picked up last week, just a dry push thru as i had the breech plug out, using a T/C 250sst, this particular sabot is black w/ serrations, the package did not specify any particular bullet weight so i assume that its the old formulation. anyway it started so much easier as far as shortstarting and the push to the breach was easy too. haven't had any experience with these yet at the range, so i guess my question is,is this normal as compared to the factory supplied sabots that i used last week[which shot very well] which were almost ridiculously hard to push down the barrel
