Hello All,
I just drew a quota hunt for black powder and I'm looking at getting an In-Line Muzzleloader for the hunt. I have an older Kentuckey and Hawkins but they are cap and ball and haven't been overly reliable in the past. I've noticed that the bullets for modern In-Lines are $1 to $1.60 for just the leads. Wow! I've also noticed that the bullets are .452 with a sabot. So....is it feasible to get a .452 bullet and load it in a sabot as long as the weight is the same? I'm thinking something like https://noebulletmolds.com/site/shop...6-2-cavity-pb/ What's your input?
yes, my gun is a 50 cal.
I also have a Lee Real mold and may try that out. I've seen .430 and .452 sabots for 50 cal.
