30-06 sabots/need info

I was just reading the box of 500 reloading data and it said special dies are needed to center the bulleted sabot into the shell. If it is not centered within 1 or 5- 1000th of an inch the bullet will tumble or be inaccurate after 50-75 yards. I asked the seller the same question, now what happens when a shell is chambered or does each shell have to be placed individually into the chamber; what about magazine use?
We probably are that close anyway when we load shells, at least I am but it also said something about the use of special dies.
When I load a bullet into a shell I know it is tight especially with a crimp, but I have never crimped a sabot and want to know if it reacts much differently or does the sabot/bullet slide and get off center that much?

Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.
