He has an interesting comment on the sabots to use
Hornady's new 325-grain .458" FTX bullet shot well with the orange .50x.458" MMP sabot, but excelled with the black .50x.451 Crush Rib Sabot from Harvester Muzzleloadingse
FTX bullets are probably the most accurate i ever shot out of a Muzzleloader. They are probably the worst i ever used on game right next to barnes. I believe Semisane found out that they needed to be shot at like 2600fps to perform properly. Realistically you are needing a smokeless ML to achieve that.
