Easier way to load?

[jisco]

Hello!
I'm new here and have a question but first thanks for being here. From what I've read this seems like a friendly forum.
I've had 2 knight ML's in the past which I gave to my son and son-in-law.
I bought myself an Omega 50 and since I haven't used a ML the last 2 yrs I'd forgotten how hard they are to load.
I'm using XTP HP .451 or 2 with the black Knight sabots, my question is, does anyone have an easier combination that will make loading easier?
Thanks for your time.

Pick up some Claybusters/Harvester Crushed Rib sabots from mid-south to use instead.

Those should be much thinner and easier to load while still giving you accurate results. Be worth a try at least.

The big difference between Black HPH12 and HPH24 is HPH24 is .002" smaller
in loaded diameter. Loaded diameter is a sabot with a bullet inserted.
With a .452 diameter bullet the HPH12 is .507-.508" diameter, the HPH24 is .505"-.506" diameter.
If you have a tight loading rifle you may want to choose the HPH24
or if you have a very tight rifle, consider our 3Petal-EZ.
However, if you shoot a Savage muzzleloader with smokeless powder the HPH24
may not fit tight enough to consistently ignite the smokeless powder.
The HPH12 is the stronger of the two sabots although both usually shoot very well with hot charges.
3Petal-EZ easiest loading MMP sabot.
Loaded diameter .502"-.504"

Knight rifles tend to have larger diameter bores than the T/C Omega. My Omega measures just .500 and my new Knight KRB measures .5035. Using Knight sabots and .452 bullets is an impossible combination for the Omega.

Thanks much for the help guys.
I ordered 2 bags of sabots from "MMP" yesterday to try.
One of the HPH 24 and one of the 3 petal-EZ sabots.
After they get here (Ohio) and I get a chance to try them I'll get back with you guys.
The info might help other Omega shooters on this board.
Again, THANKS
