Need some sabot help

[fountain]

Several years ago, I purchased my bullets/sabots from carlos at Ed's gun shop in NC. Yesterday I called to order more only to be informed that carlos no longer worked there and they could not find any bullets. The bullet carlos used to sell a lot of is the barnes 250 ex. The sabots I got with them are black. I cant remember the brand. I'd like to figure out what they are so I can get more.
Does anyone know how to get in touch with carlos these days?

Most of the Sabots are from MMP or Harvester! Maybe look at those and see if they look like the ones you are wanting. The harvesters are "Crush Rib" and will have ridges at the open end while the MMP's are smooth!
Surprised Carlos has left there. I used to call him to order my BH powder!

I think I have a partial pack of several year old Barnes with Sabots. Will look later and post a pic of the package.

I'd bet 10 dollars to a donut those sabots are from Harvester. Short Black sabots. Item number H5045SB. Below is the link.

Gregory, no I dont recall the package. I thought the bullets and sabots came separate. My sabots are smooth, black sabots. It may be harvester, but I'm just not 100% sure

Order you some MMP online. I use the orange ones for .458 Barnes TSX 300 grain for my 50 cal.
