I have been reading with great interest the post about 45-70
bullets and the sabots to use..I guess the reason for interest
is because I cast lots of bullets for my 45 cal. cartridge rifles
and have several different mold...I load for 45-70/45-95 and the
45-120,which all use the same bullets of course...Weights any-
where from 400 plus to 612 grains...
Therefore I figure with the correct sabots and can possibly find
one that will work well in my Mustang rifle...Perhaps!!!!!
Why buy the others if what I have on hand will work....
I tried some cast .452 bullets in my Savage this summer, there were too hard and shot all over the place, like a 10" or 12"group. I think if you made some softer bullets and used the right sabot, you would have something, especially in a regular ML with 70g of BP or 95g of BP.
