They have these in .416 in 350 gr and 400 gr. Could these be used in an sabot designed for the diameter of the bullet. I saw on MMP's websight they have a sabot for that size bullet. this bullet also comes in a .458 and MMP has a sabot for that size too, just curious, could it be done. Seems like it would be a good bullet for whitetail, pigs or Elk. Share your thoughts, if anyone has tried this or something simular, please share your experiance.

i think due to the length of the bullet, they would just tumble out of the barrel like an ak47. Ive always wondered about using a rifle bullet rather than a pistol but the length would just screw it up.

The other problem is the bullet is designed to operate at much higher velocity than you can accomplish out of a muzzleloader and might not open up in a satisfactory way. I also believe that the bullet might not stabilize at muzzleloader twist and velocity.
