How many of you have tried rifle bullets in sabots with much higher Ballistic Coefficients than the small fast pistol bullets that he did not like? It seems like the happy medium between the extremes...

For instance, I am looking at the 200 gr FTX in .358 with a 35/45 sabot in a 1:20 twist. It has a published BC of .30. I could get really crazy and go for a .35 Barnes TSX with a far higher BC if I wanted to.

Also, I get confused over what full bore conicals out there are designed for blackpowder cartridges, what conicals are for smokeless powder, and what bullets actually are designed for blackpowder muzzleloading...can I just buy bullets designed for blackpowder cartridge reloading and get good results?
