Cast in Sabot for Muzzleloader

[dnepr]

I have shot several cast bullets in sabots... none however were shorter than the sabot... you can always try them and see what they will do...and if they don't work that well, you could try trimming the sabot back some to get a better fit. you are correct, you will not need any lube.

Alternatively you can put a spacer under the bullet . This works well for me . I use 3 cereal box card wads under a short bullet in a 54/44 sabot , I think that the reason this helps with this combo is it gives a cleaner release from the sabot,

Actually sabots, e.g., from MMP, are available for either .452" CB's or .429" (.431" in my case) CB's. In fact, I got outstanding 50 yd. accuracy using the MMP sabot and Ly. 429421 (Keith design).*
