I don't recall what rifle you are shooting, but I would start with the Harvester Black Crush Ribs, if I was just picking one.
My T/C Omega prefers them with the .452/300 grain XTP.
If you think the Crush Ribs load too easy and/or they are not accurate enough for you, I'd try the "regular" smooth black Harvesters next, or the MMP HPH24's. After that, a tighter sabot would be the HPH12 from MMP. I have found that if a .45 bullet is going to shoot well in my rifles it will like one of those four sabots. Sometimes there is no substitute for experimenting. JMO--good luck and have fun.

with sabots costing 6 dollars at most buy different ones and see what happens, thats what i did. i like the crush ribs easier to load and still accurate for hunting. i shoot out of a knight extreme which probably has a slightly bigger bore than some others. and the crush ribs still do excellent in my gun
