    how tight a sabot has to be

    got a pro hunter katahdin in 50.cal muzzle loader with 20 inches barrel....
    I have seized cast bullets (.458) down until the sabot goes down the barrel easaly....
    am I wright in saying that has long has the bullet and sabot does not come out by tapping on the rifle when held upside down is OK
    in my case I have found that seizing to .457 loads easy and shoot OK...

    The ones that I use specify that they are for .54 cal using .451 or .452 bullets. Mine takes a little doing to get them down the barrel. What does your package say?

    Yepper. As long as the bullet stays put and accuracy satisfies you .........YOU GOT IT! BvT
    Every lawbreaker we allow into our nation, or tolerate in our citizen population leads to the further escalation of law breaking of all kinds and acceptance of evil.
    Since almost all aspects of our cultural existence are LIBERAL in most states, this means that the nation is on a trajectory to dissolution by the burden of toleration and acceptance of LAWBREAKING as a norm, a trajectory back to the dark ages of history.
