I just purchased a box of XTP 300s in 44-cal from Cabelas. After reading your post above, I'm glad I left the store with a 50-pk of the green Harvester Crushed Rib sabots for them. Sounds like I may need them.

I stock 7-8 different plastic sabots at home. I always go to the range with a couple sabot options, when trying new bullets that I recently purchased.
