Please go easy on me here, only shot a Muzzleloader this year a few times. Decided that I like guns more than bows, will likely sell my crossbow and buy a Muzzleloader. I am in PA, the early season allows use of an inline, that is the route I am planning on going. I do cast, have some wheel weight lead, and will likely cast for the muzzleloader. Is there any real advantage of Sabot vs the REAL bullet? I am thinking of getting the harvester crush rib sabots, and casting a Lee 452-300 RF to shoot. I hear the crush rib sabots are easier to load? Anyway, if I go that route I am assuming lead composition is not that critical? Maybe 50/50 COWW pure?
Seems to me like the R.E.A.L would be harder to load, plus I am assuming you need some sort of lube on the bullet?
Where I hunt, all shots will be within 100 yards.
