I have just started getting into this and already feel addicted. I have a T/C Black Diamond that I picked up used and am thinking about casting for it. I now castfor my .357 and am thinking about casting for my 44 mag. I was considering a .430 sized 255 grain keith style boolit for the 44. My question is could I use that same boolit in the black diamond with a sabot? Or would I be better off getting a mold for 50 cal as well?

"...a .430 sized 255 grain keith style boolit ...."

Actually, an unsized Lyman or RCBS Keith CB + sabot in my .50cal. Knight Bighorn are among my more accurate CB's in that rifle. (They're accurate in my Ruger SBH too.) You'll have to experiment with sabots though as different guns have different preferences re sabot design and thickness.
