My Accura 45 shot the 300gr PB Plat, PR Ultimate Tipped 360gr and the Hornady 285 GP fairly good. It preferred the 300gr PB Plat that is discontinued IIRC. Shot at a low fps it is probably fine but avoid heavy loads. If you really want to shoot lead conical 45s...get a White. Almost nothing will match them with cheap subs and cheap lead. The White Super 91 in 451 is just plain nasty and will handle bullets near 500grs at 1300fps or more...I even know where one is in SS for $300 IIRC.

Why not try sabotless? all they need is a couple sizing dies or one expensive Swinglock adjustable die. A 1-28 twist should shoot upto a 250gr ok with a heavy amount of BH209. Parker 250gr BEs are one of the easiest to get fitted and shooting well. In a 50cal the bullet selection isnt a problem for sabotless but sizing dies are an issue. Faster twists like 1-24 make it much easier too. Slow twist like my Knight 45 are a PITA and a 225gr is about max sabotless. The Original with the 1-20 though will shoot big lead or sabotless just fine. It just takes more load work.
