Sabot Petal Thickness
Has anyone ever constructed a list of sabots in the order of the thickness of their petals?
I believe that the MMP12 is the thickest I know of then I believe the MMP_HPH 24 is a step down and the Crush Rib is the next one I try if the 24 is to tight. I think the regular Harvester is close in size to the 24. I have a few of the 3 petal ones so far they have not shot as well as the regular ones for me and I really have not places the in the petal thickness chain.
Do many of you try several different ones to see what the gun likes?
Do any of you have a list from the manufactures of size relationships?
Because the slickness and softnes or hardness enter into how they fit the actual measurement dont mean as much. So I would like to know if you agree with me or not and where all of you place them in relation to each other. Lee

50 cal sabots - thick to thin
Barnes sabots -built by MMP
MMP Black Plastic Sabot - not a HPH (high pressure sabot)
HPH-12 or Regular Hornady
HPH-24 or Regular Harvester - short or long petal
HPH-3p-EZ or Harvester Crush Rib or Hornady Low Drag or TC Easy Glide
Some of the collection
