The Encore platform rifles I used to shoot, shot them excellent with the supplied sabots. Never had to change from the supplied to any other sabot. I sold my last Pro Hunter last year and I'm beginning to wonder why....
I'm shooting an Ultimate Firearms Inc. BP Xpress and 180grs of propellant. (DON'T DO THAT WITH PRODUCTION RIFLES). I've shot them with MMP and also just about every sabot Harvester makes and haven't yet been satisfied with their long range accuracy (300-400yds). BARNES... IS MY FAVORITE BULLET. I'm not through playing........

As far as me using my MMP sabots, I like the HP sabots since my barrel really likes a hot load. Kinda like the Old SR-71, leaks like a sieve till you get the pressure up then she tightens up and ZOOM! So USUALLY supplied sabots don't seem to perform that well. For me anyway.

The TEZ is my current favorite bullet for Eastern Whitetails. Every deer I have shot with this bullet has either dropped on the spot or not made it very far at all. I have been completely pleased with them so far.
The only complaint I have is that I'm forced to buy the sabot that comes with it and I'm not a fan.

TNHagies, you can go here and get bags of sabots that you may like better http://mmpsabots.com/
You can also go to Harvester for Crush Rib. https://www.harvestermuzzleloading.c...chk=1&Itemid=3 which are also good sabots. I use one or the other for all my sabot needs.

I have no clue why you would have sold it. I absolutely love my PH setup. If you saw my test on Cold Clean bore posting you will see that it's a pretty darn accurate barrel at 150 yards holding around 1.5" 5 shot group. Not bad for a gimp shooting wrong handed!
