No, i have not tried any of the newer, easier to load sabots.  Am happy with the old ones.  The old sabots load hard in my guns, especially the Encore; but are very accurate so i will stick with them.

I have shot some, I did not notice a difference in accuracy, but they were a little easier to load.

Not sure if this qualifies but my Optima likes the harvester crushed ribbed sabot.

I have shot the 300 grain ones out of my encore with 3 50 grain pellets and only getting 1.7 inch groups at 100 yards I thought i should get better than that.  First time shooting the encore barrel though.  I will be trying different loads and sabots to try getting better groups but have not done it yet.

I or should I say my Encores like them. Work great with the bonded 250gr bullets.
