Assuming I had pulled up the correct bullet, Midsouth has them for around a buck apiece. As I get closer to hunting season, I will give them a try. I got my order in on the speers and xtps. They were back ordered on the 250s for both. Being the impatient soul that I am, I went ahead and ordered the 300s in each. Looking forward to trying both with the crush sabots I ordered as well.
I was going to order the knight range rod everyone talked about that I thought was 30-31 inches. The longest I found on Midsouth was 28", so I passed.
Getting out tomorrow with the 250 xtp and the tight mmp sabots so I can use the sabots up.....we shall see what happens. Enjoy the day!
Yep, they were about $1 each. This is the bullet I use:

SabotLoader uses the .45-70 bullet, which is a bit longer. I have shot both and they both shoot the same out of my Omega. Either will do the job no problem.
Not something that you can do a lot of shooting/practice with. This is a bullet that came out of my 2006 ML buck, shot in the brisket facing me at about 50 yards. The bullet went the whole length of the deer and was under the hide in the hip, so it shot the whole length of the deer. Look at the perfect mushroom and it lost very little weight. Most other deer I have hit with these just drop and they go right thru like butter. Chap Gleason
