500 at a time, my Bull Shop conicals cost about 22 cents each. Shoot great!
I cast (some several bullets possible)and just can't see doing it myself for that price. http://home.mchsi.com/~rltsr/bullshop.jpg Picture shows just some of the pure lead conicals Dan can produce for the muzzleloader shooter. He can vary the sizing, lube used, and has other styles and weights. Shipped and delivered from Alaska, my last 500 bullets cost just about $112 total.
These bullets are just great on large animals, I have shot a large elk with the 460 grain and penetration was excellent, I shot a couple elk with 348 powerbelts, while they died the only part I found in the elk was the green skirt. The bullshop are far more accurate than powerbelts in my .504 U-M

I'm sure Dan can also produce a number of bullets which would be perfectly suitable for use in sabots although I have no use for such abominations of nature.

RE: I gotta vent. bullet prices
You guys that complain about cost should take up duck hunting for a while, you'll think ML'ing is dirt cheap after that. My 12ga duck loads cost me a little over $2.00 every time I pull the trigger. Sabot slugs will run you $2.00-$3.00+ as well, my 25-06 bullets run between $30-$40 a box. With all the time money and effort I put into hunting I cant see skimping on the most important thing. Granted, for recreational shooting I would go cheap but never for hunting.

Crimson, it is a well known fact that duck hunters must be completely insane from the get-go.

Im not sure what you guys are paying but TC has upped their price on their tc maxi hunter bullets, $12 for 20! $3 more and i could have bought my powerbelts, if they would have had them in stock. I picked up a box of maxi hunters in 350 grain and a box of great plains bullets in 385 grain. Seeing how they only had one box of each, i figured i'd try them both out tomorrow and see how they do. Even the damn sabots were high priced in the $13 range for 15. Powder was the same price, $14 for pyrodex rs.
Outdoorslover, i just got your pm and thank you, i'll be giving them a call tomorrow. Also be sighting in tomorrow, with the old sights, but also ordering my new sights tomorrow. ahhh such a busy day!

$8.35 per 50 count for the last sabots I bought.

RE: I gotta vent. bullet prices
i cant use sabots in colorado so they do me no good. Its either powerbelts or the maxi hunters out of the winchester. Now that i have great sights, i need to find the most accurate bullet combo.
