They were really designed or brought forward for the longer Barnes/Lehigh/PR lead Bullets and a few others on the market.
And as Del & Chaded have said EVEN if it were to work with smokeless - the demand for 40-45 sabots is extremely low.
The 45 is an excellent deer rifle and shooter but yet the 50 is the far more versatile and outsells the 45 by a huge margin.
it's true the market probably isnt there, but I wouldnt mind if he made a couple thousand for me, then I would be set for life.
and he could keep making 50 cal for everyone else.
