Default RE: Any anbody tried a 35cal (.358) in a .45 muzzloader?

I have not actually tried it, but I would guess that they may be too long for caliber to sabilize in twists common for MLers, like 1-28". Maybe the 200 but I doubt the 225gr would stabilize.

In a few years when the cash is on hand, I'd like to get a centerfire twist 45cal barrel put on a Rem700 short action and have a breechplug machined for it to shoot off shortened 6mm cases or something....then I'd shoot the highest BC .35cal bullets I could find in those sabots and see what they could do with smokeless, just for fun.
