They're all I buy now. I haven't tried it yet, but some are able to use the CR with .458 bullets so they don't have to buy the special orange MMPs.
I usually buy them direct, as most local shops don't carry much stock and the one that does marks them up by a third.
You shouldn't have to slug your barrel for sabots; the TCs are designed around them. With my Knight, I don't need a starter for .452/sabot loads; just my thumb. Conicals are another matter. They need to be started straight to shoot straight. I use a 1/2" flanged spacer that looks like a top hat with the top cut out, to start the Hornady FPBs. Keeps them square to the bore. My starter tip is coned out to fit the point.
