Default 45 cal bullets

so i was wondering can you use any 45 cal bullets with sabots in a m-l. i bought some tc e-z glide sabots to but on some barnes t-ez and mtz bullets that didn't shot to well out of my gun. so while i was at sportsman wearhouse i was looking at the 45 cal bullets. The sabot package said i could use then on .451 or .452 bullets and the only lose bullets that size are hornady xtp's. So what range of bullet size do i need to look for and so on for those type of sabots. can i go a little bigger size or smaller?

There are a ton of .45 caliber pistol bullets available. Take a look at the variety offered by Midway USA.

Well they sell a .429-.430 sabot so you can shoot a .44 caliber bullet of that dimension. Also there are .400 blue sabots so you can shoot 10mm or .40 caliber bullets, and of course you know about the .452 sabots. There are also some orange .457-8 sabots also that shoot the bullets for like a 45/70 government. I shoot a 405 grain Remington Flat point out of them.

There are lots of things you can shoot.

ok so the bullets i shot will depend on the sabot i get then? I'm going to have to look around and some other stores though. The only loose sabots i could find at sportsman wearhouse and bass pro where the t/c's.
