Anybody try these?

I know you shouldn't need them if your sabot fits tight enough, but if you have a small amount of pressure getting past the sabot they might help?

RE: sub bases
They are made for the very high velocity loads like found in the Savage. My understanding is they really will not help you much in a standard muzzleloader load. I have some, have used them and there was no improvement, but then I never shoot a magnum load.

RE: sub bases
I have tried them with several different powders and with the snug fitting sabots [MMP_HPH I could not tell any difference. I resd in one of the professional magazines that the best use for them was in loads of smokeless that were to hot for the sabot. Since I do not normally use much smokeless except in reloading metalic cartridges I can not say if that is true or not. Lee
