thank you

How many inches off the bullseye are we talking about here, if I do not line-up that sabot with the land in my barrel?

ronlaughlin said:To me the real question is, "why wouldn't one index the sabot?".
The answer to the question "why would one index the sabot?"... is to be consistent. Whether or not it has any real effect doesn't really matter does it? It seems to me, being consistent is always best.
The photo are the same sabot looked at from 4 different sides. Each petal has 2 lands riding in it.

Again I like to stay constant in all that I do in loading, sabot, bullet, pressure, powder, primer etc. If it is all the same I just have a bit more confidence in the shot.
