[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 745707, member: 33046"] Are you shooting these? [url=http://barnesbullets.myshopify.com/collections/spit-fire-t-eztm/products/50-cal-451-250-gr-spit-fire-t-ez-fb-pack-of-24-with-sabots]50 CAL .451" 250 GR SPIT-FIRE T-EZ FB - PER 24 W/SABOTS | Barnes Bullets[/url] These bullets with the blue sabot are the T-EZ bullets. The blue sabot is designed to load easier and the bullet has a flat base. I shoot the 250gr TMZ which does have the boattail. Thousands of them actually. When you seat your bullets, seat them hard, with a solid THUMP using both hands. I average 105# of seating force and it is well known that BH209 needs to be seated hard. If the blue T-EZ loads easy, you may want to try the TMZ bullet with the supplied sabot. I'm not one to try changing sabots, especially when Barnes has done most of the work. However I have tried some different and found that in every case, they never performed as well as the supplied. I just tried some Harvester Crushed Ribs this fall that a friend gave me and made for the TMZ. They opened up my group to 4"+. If your right to left is centered but, your getting vertical strings, changing sabots most likely won't by itself correct the problem. Good shoot'n.... [/QUOTE]
