Harvester Scorpion with crush rib sabot
« on: September 20, 2011, 06:27:05 PM »
Saw some Harvester Scorpion 240 gr. bullets with the crush rib sabot for a decent price. Was thinking of trying them in my Optima. Any one used these. Thanks, Don

i shoot the 260gr scorpion pt gold in my optima but for best accuracy i have to use the mmp HPH-24 sabot with 100gr blackhorn209. The crush ribs dont cut it for me in the accuracy department.

Thanks, I'll pass on them. I'm looking for a bullet and sabot combo that doesn't break the bank. Should be cheaper to order bullet and sabot seperatly and save. Don

$20 for 50 of the pt golds  and then $8.95 for 50 of the HPH-24 sabots.

the 240gr xtp with the supplied sabot "mmp sabot" is a heck of a round in my optima with 100gr bh209. Im talking about 2 shots touching while the 3rd is just a tiny bit away from it.
