Its not a problem to switch sabots. Ive seen so many people complain about poor accuracy with (insert brand) bullet but never tried another sabot or tried the wrong sabot.

The only Barnes that ever gave me issues are the boattail TMZs and only because there are about 2-3 sabot choices for boattails. I avoid BTs completely in my Savage. They are known to be problematic with high pressure loads.

My favorite Barnes is the .458 250gr TSXFN bullet. It does not fly well compared to the poly tipped Barnes but it shoots really well. Many Savages show a preference for .458 bullets
