If you guys use the .458 bullets whats your favorite combo ? Yesterday I shot Hornady 350 gr roundnose I tried the mmp 3 petal tight and the standard orange ( didn't group) finally fell back on the old reliable black crush rib and got the final group of the day at under 1 3/4 at 100 yds but even this was tight, not spill your guts out tight but tighter than I like and the cups on the fired sabots were the most stressed out I have seen. I was firing 95 gr by volume of BH 209in my Rossi which has what I believe based on knurling bullets to be a 503 bore. Temps started at around 65 degrees and were around 80 degrees at the end which was a real pain .
If you do use the orange sabots do you regularly lose petals upon firing I've tried them twice in 2 different rifles one tight bored and this Rossi and lost petals neither rifle grouped well with these sabots.
