No Excuses Bullets

So I have a question,

If you want to shoot these with no sabot in 50 cal will a 1/28 twist be okay?I will also get some of the 45cal bullets and try some with sabot as well.
And also what about reduced powder charges?

Thanks

I don't use a sabot when I shoot a conical. And they come pre lubed. Because the conical bullets are so heavy, I lower the powder charge. I find 70-80 grains of powder work real well.

You dont use a sabot because they are lubed?
I am just looking for a pig and deer load and maybe someday a elk load using a conical.

Thanks

No sabot with a conical bullet. Sabots are used when you want to shoot a smaller diameter bullet then the caliber of a rifle. A conical bullet does not require a sabot. I am guessing your shooting a .50 caliber. The No Excuses come in at .503 diameter. They are a slip fit conical bullet. All you do is dump your powder charge and then put the conical down the bore onto the powder.

I shoot a lot of conical bullets out of my White rifles. Again, a slip fit design. And I can shoot a lot of rounds without swabbing the bore.

Will try them out of a knight..

They should shoot just fine. If not try some sabot loads. Knights love sabots.

440gr UC short in the Knight. I shot some other brand of 410s and 460s. IMO somewhere in the middle would have been ideal in a 1-28.
