A while back, I traded off my .50 cal inline for a CVA Optima Elite switch barrel setup, which came with a .45 cal ML barrel. I've been shooting Blackhorn 209 and 225 grain Powerbelts with good accuracy. Very much like the ease of loading and cleaning with these components.
BUT...it's about $1.50 a shot, which is downright silly for a ML. So, I'm in search of a cheap practice load. .45 cal ML projectile choices are far more limited (my one regret over letting go of my .50 cal).
I'd like to continue using Blackhorn. I'm looking for cast bullet choices that could work well. Anybody have any recommendations for a mold that might work well? Lee REAL? Paper patching? .45 cal sabot and a cast boolit?
Any feedback appreciated.
