I've got a savage 10ml muzzleloader and am wondering if cast bullets can be used to the rifles potential,(2300+fps) with smokeless powder and no sabot? thanks

I have one also, I admit I've thought about paper patching for it. But it shoots fine with sabots and 458 jacketed.

I've got a 10ML-II.....if you're looking for info, go over to chuckhawks.com Most of the stuff on the 10ML-II comes from Randy Wakeman.

I recently ordered a custom mold from Accurate Molds to use in my Savage. Two cavity aluminum mold with one cavity as a .452" 250g boolit for a sabot and the other a .458" 300g boolit for a sabot.

May take some time/testing to figure out the alloy/fps combo but it should be fun!
