I think the harvester yellow .50 for boattails?

[trb0]

Is this the yellow sabot supplied with them or purchased seperately?

Pretty sure purchased separately.

May be cheaper if bought through midway or midsouth if they have them.

I have used the supplied yellow sabot. Sometime ago they switched to a yellow ribbed sabot. The smooth sabots are rather difficult to load.

The bullet/sabot combintion I have were marketed by Knight.

Some fellows have used a small washer under the bullet and tried different sabots. I do not remember the size of the washer.
